Glacier White vs RAL 120-3
Where Glacier White belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 120-3 is a RAL Effect color. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. RAL 120-3 (LRV 85) reflects noticeably more light than Glacier White (LRV 80), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 1.5, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Glacier White vs RAL 120-3 in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Glacier White and RAL 120-3 are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — RAL 120-3 gives the walls a little more lift.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. RAL 120-3 reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Glacier White vs RAL 120-3 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Glacier White on one side and RAL 120-3 on the other.
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.
