White Comfort vs RAL 120-3

White ComfortJotunvsRAL 120-3RAL EffectΔE 2.1Subtle difference

White Comfort is a Jotun color while RAL 120-3 comes from RAL Effect. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 85 vs 81, RAL 120-3 will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. With a ΔE of 2.1, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

White Comfort vs RAL 120-3 in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. White Comfort and RAL 120-3 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. RAL 120-3 has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Bedroom

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.
