Raw Cashmere vs RAL 210-1

Raw CashmereDuluxvsRAL 210-1RAL EffectΔE 1.5Subtle difference

Raw Cashmere (Dulux) and RAL 210-1 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. The 4-point LRV gap — 61 for Raw Cashmere vs 57 for RAL 210-1 — means Raw Cashmere will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 1.5 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Raw Cashmere vs RAL 210-1 in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Raw Cashmere and RAL 210-1 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. Raw Cashmere 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. Raw Cashmere 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.
