Polar White vs RAL 160-2
Where Polar White belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 160-2 is a RAL Effect color. Hue-wise, Polar White belongs to the blue-white family and RAL 160-2 to the white family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (79 vs 78), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 2.5, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Polar White vs RAL 160-2 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Polar White on one side and RAL 160-2 on the other.
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.
