Raw Clay vs RAL 110-2

Raw ClayCloverdale PaintvsRAL 110-2RAL EffectΔE 25.6Very different colors

Raw Clay is a Cloverdale Paint color while RAL 110-2 comes from RAL Effect. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. At LRV 72 vs 32, RAL 110-2 will read as the brighter of the two — a 40-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 25.6, 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.
