Lemongrass vs RAL 110-2

LemongrassCloverdale PaintvsRAL 110-2RAL EffectΔE 17.5Distinct difference

Lemongrass (Cloverdale Paint) and RAL 110-2 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Lemongrass reads as beige-yellow, while RAL 110-2 reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 16-point LRV gap — 72 for RAL 110-2 vs 56 for Lemongrass — means RAL 110-2 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 17.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Lemongrass vs RAL 110-2 in Real Spaces

4 real rooms side by side. Seeing Lemongrass and RAL 110-2 in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.

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. RAL 110-2 reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Lemongrass.

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. RAL 110-2 returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Kitchen

Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. RAL 110-2 returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Bathroom

Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. RAL 110-2 returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Digital color is approximate.

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