Apple Sauce vs RAL 210-2 in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Apple Sauce and RAL 210-2 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 brightness difference is modest but present — Apple Sauce gives the walls a little more lift.

Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Apple Sauce reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Bathroom
