Sandy Brown vs RAL 110-2

Sandy BrownBenjamin MoorevsRAL 110-2RAL EffectΔE 18.8Distinct difference

Sandy Brown (Benjamin Moore) and RAL 110-2 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Sandy Brown reads as beige, while RAL 110-2 reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 19-point LRV gap — 72 for RAL 110-2 vs 52 for Sandy Brown — means RAL 110-2 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 18.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
