Baseline vs RAL 110-2

BaselineCloverdale PaintvsRAL 110-2RAL EffectΔE 7.2Noticeable difference

Where Baseline belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, RAL 110-2 is a RAL Effect color. Baseline reads as green-white, while RAL 110-2 reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Baseline (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 110-2 (LRV 72), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 7.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Baseline vs RAL 110-2 in Real Spaces

4 real rooms side by side. Baseline 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 Baseline will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than RAL 110-2 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. Baseline reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than RAL 110-2.

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.
