PresentJotunvsRAL 110-2RAL EffectΔE 18.1Distinct difference

Where Present belongs to Jotun's range, RAL 110-2 is a RAL Effect color. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction.

With a ΔE of 18.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
