RAL Effect

Platinum grey (RAL Classic) and RAL 110-1 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. The 48-point LRV gap — 80 for RAL 110-1 vs 32 for Platinum grey — means RAL 110-1 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 30.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.

Platinum grey vs RAL 110-1 in Real Spaces

Seeing Platinum grey 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 3 room types where both colors have photos.

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.

House

A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. 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.
