Jute vs RAL 120-5 paint color comparison

Jute vs RAL 120-5

JuteBenjamin MoorevsRAL 120-5RAL EffectΔE 2.8Subtle difference

Jute is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 120-5 comes from RAL Effect. Jute reads as beige-greige, while RAL 120-5 reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 70 vs 63, RAL 120-5 will read as the brighter of the two — a 6-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. With a ΔE of 2.8, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Jute vs RAL 120-5 in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Jute and RAL 120-5 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

Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. RAL 120-5 has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Bathroom

Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The brightness difference is modest but present — RAL 120-5 gives the walls a little more lift.

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.
