Butterscotch Glaze vs RAL 370-M

Where Butterscotch Glaze belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, RAL 370-M is a RAL Effect color. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Butterscotch Glaze (LRV 31) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 370-M (LRV 23), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Butterscotch Glaze vs RAL 370-M in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Butterscotch Glaze and RAL 370-M 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 — Butterscotch Glaze gives the walls a little more lift.

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. Butterscotch Glaze reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Digital color is approximate.

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