Forest Floor vs RAL 110-1

Forest FloorBenjamin MoorevsRAL 110-1RAL EffectΔE 51.0Very different colors

Forest Floor (Benjamin Moore) and RAL 110-1 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Forest Floor belongs to the grey family and RAL 110-1 to the white family. The 66-point LRV gap — 80 for RAL 110-1 vs 14 for Forest Floor — means RAL 110-1 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 51.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Forest Floor vs RAL 110-1 in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Forest Floor and RAL 110-1 in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.

Bathroom

Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. RAL 110-1 returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Kitchen Cabinets

Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. RAL 110-1 returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
