White Heather vs RAL 120-5

White HeatherJotunvsRAL 120-5RAL EffectΔE 3.2Noticeable difference

Where White Heather belongs to Jotun's range, RAL 120-5 is a RAL Effect color. White Heather reads as beige-greige, while RAL 120-5 reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. RAL 120-5 (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than White Heather (LRV 64), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

White Heather vs RAL 120-5 in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. White Heather and RAL 120-5 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.

Bedroom

The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. RAL 120-5 reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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.
