Valerie vs RAL 110-2
Where Valerie belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, RAL 110-2 is a RAL Effect color. Valerie reads as pink-red, while RAL 110-2 reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Valerie (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 110-2 (LRV 72), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 10.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Valerie vs RAL 110-2 in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Valerie 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 LRV gap is large enough that Valerie will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than RAL 110-2 would.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Valerie reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than RAL 110-2.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Valerie reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than RAL 110-2.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Valerie reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than RAL 110-2.

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.
