PeignoirFarrow & BallvsRAL 110-3RAL EffectΔE 5.1Noticeable difference

Where Peignoir belongs to Farrow & Ball's range, RAL 110-3 is a RAL Effect color. Peignoir reads as beige-pink, while RAL 110-3 reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Peignoir (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 110-3 (LRV 56), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Peignoir vs RAL 110-3 in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Peignoir and RAL 110-3 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

In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Peignoir gives the walls a little more lift.

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.
