Stuart GoldBenjamin MoorevsRAL 110-1RAL EffectΔE 48.6Very different colors

Stuart Gold is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 110-1 comes from RAL Effect. Stuart Gold reads as beige, while RAL 110-1 reads as white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 80 vs 48, RAL 110-1 will read as the brighter of the two — a 32-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 48.6, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Digital color is approximate.

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