Thyme vs RAL 770-3
Thyme (Cloverdale Paint) and RAL 770-3 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Thyme belongs to the greige-grey family and RAL 770-3 to the beige-greige family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 20 vs 17 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. ΔE 3.9 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.
Thyme vs RAL 770-3 in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Thyme and RAL 770-3 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.
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. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Thyme on one side and RAL 770-3 on the other.
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.
