Sandy vs RAL 110-2

SandyJotunvsRAL 110-2RAL EffectΔE 29.3Very different colors

Sandy (Jotun) and RAL 110-2 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Sandy belongs to the beige-greige family and RAL 110-2 to the greige-grey family. The 42-point LRV gap — 72 for RAL 110-2 vs 30 for Sandy — means RAL 110-2 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 29.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Sandy vs RAL 110-2 in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Seeing Sandy and RAL 110-2 in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.

Living Room

A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. RAL 110-2 reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Sandy.

Bedroom

Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. 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.

Kitchen

Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. 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.

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.
