ChemiseLittle GreenevsRAL 160-4RAL EffectΔE 2.8Subtle difference

The 5-point LRV gap — 83 for Chemise vs 78 for RAL 160-4 — means Chemise will open up a space more effectively.

Chemise vs RAL 160-4 in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. Chemise and RAL 160-4 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.

Bathroom

Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Chemise has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

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.
