Silver Moon vs RAL 180-1

Silver MoonJotunvsRAL 180-1RAL EffectΔE 6.4Noticeable difference

Silver Moon is a Jotun color while RAL 180-1 comes from RAL Effect. Silver Moon reads as grey, while RAL 180-1 reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 52 vs 49, Silver Moon will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 6.4, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Silver Moon vs RAL 180-1 in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Silver Moon and RAL 180-1 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. Silver Moon has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Bedroom

Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The brightness difference is modest but present — Silver Moon gives the walls a little more lift.

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.
