Tallow vs RAL 110-2

TallowFarrow & BallvsRAL 110-2RAL EffectΔE 11.1Distinct difference

Tallow is a Farrow & Ball color while RAL 110-2 comes from RAL Effect. Tallow reads as beige, while RAL 110-2 reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 87 vs 72, Tallow will read as the brighter of the two — a 15-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 11.1, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
