RAL 110-1 vs Superwhite in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. RAL 110-1 and Superwhite 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. 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
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The LRV gap is large enough that RAL 110-1 will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Superwhite would.
House
At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. The LRV gap is large enough that RAL 110-1 will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Superwhite would.

RAL 110-1 vs Superwhite Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see RAL 110-1 on one side and Superwhite on the other.
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.
