ChemiseLittle GreenevsRAL 160-5RAL EffectΔE 2.0Subtle difference

Where Chemise belongs to Little Greene's range, RAL 160-5 is a RAL Effect color. Hue-wise, Chemise belongs to the pink-red family and RAL 160-5 to the beige-pink family. Chemise (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 160-5 (LRV 80), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.0, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Chemise vs RAL 160-5 in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Chemise and RAL 160-5 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. Chemise 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.
