Hampton Beach vs RAL 310-6

Hampton BeachCloverdale PaintvsRAL 310-6RAL EffectΔE 9.7Noticeable difference

Hampton Beach (Cloverdale Paint) and RAL 310-6 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. The 5-point LRV gap — 18 for Hampton Beach vs 13 for RAL 310-6 — means Hampton Beach will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 9.7 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Hampton Beach vs RAL 310-6 in Real Spaces

4 real rooms side by side. Hampton Beach and RAL 310-6 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

A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Hampton Beach reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Bedroom

Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Hampton Beach has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

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