Moonshine vs RAL 110-2

MoonshineBenjamin MoorevsRAL 110-2RAL EffectΔE 2.4Subtle difference

Where Moonshine belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 110-2 is a RAL Effect color. Moonshine reads as grey, while RAL 110-2 reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. RAL 110-2 (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Moonshine (LRV 67), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.4, 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 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Moonshine vs RAL 110-2 in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Moonshine and RAL 110-2 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 110-2 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.
