Stratus vs RAL 110-2

StratusCloverdale PaintvsRAL 110-2RAL EffectΔE 1.8Subtle difference

Where Stratus belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, RAL 110-2 is a RAL Effect color. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Stratus (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 110-2 (LRV 72), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 1.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Stratus vs RAL 110-2 in Real Spaces

4 real rooms side by side. Stratus and RAL 110-2 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 — Stratus gives the walls a little more lift.

Bedroom

The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Stratus reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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.
