Randolph GrayBenjamin MoorevsRAL 110-1RAL EffectΔE 54.7Very different colors

Randolph Gray (Benjamin Moore) and RAL 110-1 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Randolph Gray reads as grey, while RAL 110-1 reads as white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 68-point LRV gap — 80 for RAL 110-1 vs 11 for Randolph Gray — means RAL 110-1 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 54.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Randolph Gray vs RAL 110-1 in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Seeing Randolph Gray and RAL 110-1 in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.

Living Room

Bathroom

Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. RAL 110-1 returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Kitchen Cabinets

Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. RAL 110-1 returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
