Whitening vs RAL 120-3
Where Whitening belongs to Little Greene's range, RAL 120-3 is a RAL Effect color. Whitening reads as beige-white, while RAL 120-3 reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Whitening (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 120-3 (LRV 85), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.4, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
