Violet Beauty vs RAL 110-1

Violet BeautyCloverdale PaintvsRAL 110-1RAL EffectΔE 20.5Distinct difference

Violet Beauty is a Cloverdale Paint color while RAL 110-1 comes from RAL Effect. Violet Beauty reads as purple, while RAL 110-1 reads as white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 80 vs 48, RAL 110-1 will read as the brighter of the two — a 32-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 20.5, 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.
