Muslin vs RAL 110-1

MuslinBenjamin MoorevsRAL 110-1RAL EffectΔE 12.7Distinct difference

Muslin is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 110-1 comes from RAL Effect. Hue-wise, Muslin belongs to the beige family and RAL 110-1 to the white family. At LRV 80 vs 67, RAL 110-1 will read as the brighter of the two — a 13-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 12.7, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 6 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Living Room

Bedroom

Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that RAL 110-1 will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Muslin would.

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.
