Chintz vs RAL 110-1

ChintzCloverdale PaintvsRAL 110-1RAL EffectΔE 16.6Distinct difference

Chintz is a Cloverdale Paint color while RAL 110-1 comes from RAL Effect. Hue-wise, Chintz belongs to the greige-grey family and RAL 110-1 to the white family. At LRV 80 vs 51, RAL 110-1 will read as the brighter of the two — a 29-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 16.6, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Living Room

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.
