Sylvan Mist vs RAL 110-1

Sylvan MistBenjamin MoorevsRAL 110-1RAL EffectΔE 14.5Distinct difference

Sylvan Mist (Benjamin Moore) and RAL 110-1 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Sylvan Mist reads as green-grey, while RAL 110-1 reads as white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 26-point LRV gap — 80 for RAL 110-1 vs 54 for Sylvan Mist — means RAL 110-1 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 14.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Kitchen

Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. 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.

Digital color is approximate.

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