Skylight vs RAL 110-2

SkylightFarrow & BallvsRAL 110-2RAL EffectΔE 5.8Noticeable difference

Skylight is a Farrow & Ball color while RAL 110-2 comes from RAL Effect. Skylight reads as grey, while RAL 110-2 reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 72 vs 62, RAL 110-2 will read as the brighter of the two — a 10-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 5.8, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Skylight vs RAL 110-2 in Real Spaces

4 real rooms side by side. Skylight and RAL 110-2 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

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. RAL 110-2 returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Bedroom

Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that RAL 110-2 will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Skylight would.

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 RAL 110-2 will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Skylight 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.
