Fescue vs RAL 110-3 paint color comparison

Fescue vs RAL 110-3

FescueLittle GreenevsRAL 110-3RAL EffectΔE 3.4Noticeable difference

Fescue is a Little Greene color while RAL 110-3 comes from RAL Effect. Fescue reads as beige-greige, while RAL 110-3 reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 57 and 56, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 3.4, 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.

Fescue vs RAL 110-3 in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Fescue and RAL 110-3 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. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

Kitchen Cabinets

On cabinetry, undertone and temperature become more pronounced against countertops and hardware. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

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.
