Lamp Black vs RAL 110-1
Lamp Black (Little Greene) and RAL 110-1 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. The 77-point LRV gap — 80 for RAL 110-1 vs 3 for Lamp Black — means RAL 110-1 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 73.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
Lamp Black vs RAL 110-1 Color Comparison
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.

Lamp Black vs RAL 110-1 in Real Spaces
Seeing Lamp Black and RAL 110-1 in actual rooms makes the difference concrete. Browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall. Showing 5 room types where both colors have photos.
Living Room

Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. RAL 110-1 returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. RAL 110-1 returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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. RAL 110-1 returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. RAL 110-1 returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
