Chisel vs RAL 140-M
Chisel (Cloverdale Paint) and RAL 140-M (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Chisel reads as beige, while RAL 140-M reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 3-point LRV gap — 38 for Chisel vs 35 for RAL 140-M — means Chisel will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 5.1 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Chisel vs RAL 140-M in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Chisel and RAL 140-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.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

Chisel vs RAL 140-M Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Chisel on one side and RAL 140-M on the other.
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.
