Jonquil Trail vs RAL 140-2 in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Jonquil Trail and RAL 140-2 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 brightness difference is modest but present — RAL 140-2 gives the walls a little more lift.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. RAL 140-2 reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
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. RAL 140-2 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.
