October MistBenjamin MoorevsRAL 110-2RAL EffectΔE 15.2Distinct difference

October Mist is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 110-2 comes from RAL Effect. October Mist reads as grey, while RAL 110-2 reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 72 vs 47, RAL 110-2 will read as the brighter of the two — a 25-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 15.2, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
