Simply White vs RAL 110-1
Simply White is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 110-1 comes from RAL Effect. Simply White reads as beige-white, while RAL 110-1 reads as white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 90 vs 80, Simply White will read as the brighter of the two — a 10-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 6.5, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 6 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Simply White vs RAL 110-1 in Real Spaces
6 real rooms side by side. Simply White and RAL 110-1 are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Simply White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Simply White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than RAL 110-1 would.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The LRV gap is large enough that Simply White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than RAL 110-1 would.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Simply White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than RAL 110-1 would.
House
At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Simply White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than RAL 110-1 would.
Kitchen Cabinets
On cabinetry, undertone and temperature become more pronounced against countertops and hardware. The LRV gap is large enough that Simply White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than RAL 110-1 would.

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.
