Opal vs Cleanroom white
Where Opal belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Cleanroom white is a RAL Classic color. Opal reads as beige, while Cleanroom white reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cleanroom white (LRV 89) reflects noticeably more light than Opal (LRV 84), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
