IvoryRAL ClassicvsThames FogValsparΔE 27.3Very different colors

Ivory (RAL Classic) and Thames Fog (Valspar) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Ivory belongs to the beige family and Thames Fog to the grey family.

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.
