Ancient Mist vs RAL 110-2 in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Ancient Mist and RAL 110-2 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
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that RAL 110-2 will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Ancient Mist would.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. RAL 110-2 reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Ancient Mist.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. RAL 110-2 reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Ancient Mist.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. RAL 110-2 reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Ancient Mist.
