Rich and Rare vs RAL 320-2
Rich and Rare (Cloverdale Paint) and RAL 320-2 (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 3-point LRV gap — 25 for RAL 320-2 vs 22 for Rich and Rare — means RAL 320-2 will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 6.8 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.
Rich and Rare vs RAL 320-2 in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Rich and Rare and RAL 320-2 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
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 320-2 reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
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 320-2 has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

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.
