Apple White vs RAL 110-1

Apple WhiteDuluxvsRAL 110-1RAL EffectΔE 8.3Noticeable difference

Apple White (Dulux) and RAL 110-1 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Apple White belongs to the beige-white family and RAL 110-1 to the white family. The 3-point LRV gap — 83 for Apple White vs 80 for RAL 110-1 — means Apple White will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 8.3 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Apple White vs RAL 110-1 in Real Spaces

4 real rooms side by side. Apple White and RAL 110-1 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. Apple White reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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. Apple White has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Kitchen

Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Apple White has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

House

A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. Apple White 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.
