ClearJotunvsCleanroom whiteRAL ClassicΔE 1.7Subtle difference

Clear (Jotun) and Cleanroom white (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Clear belongs to the beige family and Cleanroom white to the beige-white family. The 3-point LRV gap — 89 for Cleanroom white vs 86 for Clear — means Cleanroom white will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 1.7 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
