Cotton Ball vs RAL 110-2

Cotton BallJotunvsRAL 110-2RAL EffectΔE 6.7Noticeable difference

Cotton Ball is a Jotun color while RAL 110-2 comes from RAL Effect. Cotton Ball reads as beige-yellow, while RAL 110-2 reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 85 vs 72, Cotton Ball will read as the brighter of the two — a 14-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 6.7, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Cotton Ball vs RAL 110-2 in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Cotton Ball 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. Cotton Ball returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Kitchen

Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The LRV gap is large enough that Cotton Ball 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.
