Bamboo StemDuluxvsRAL 110-2RAL EffectΔE 23.4Distinct difference

Bamboo Stem reads as green-yellow, while RAL 110-2 reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
