Soft Apple vs RAL 110-2

Soft AppleDuluxvsRAL 110-2RAL EffectΔE 12.5Distinct difference

Soft Apple is a Dulux color while RAL 110-2 comes from RAL Effect. Soft Apple reads as yellow, while RAL 110-2 reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 83 vs 72, Soft Apple will read as the brighter of the two — a 11-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 12.5, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Soft Apple vs RAL 110-2 in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Soft Apple and RAL 110-2 in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.

Living Room

Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Soft Apple returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Bathroom

Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Soft Apple will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than RAL 110-2 would.

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.
