RAL 110-2 vs RAL 160-3 in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. RAL 110-2 and RAL 160-3 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.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that RAL 160-3 will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than RAL 110-2 would.
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 160-3 will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than RAL 110-2 would.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that RAL 160-3 will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than RAL 110-2 would.

RAL 110-2 vs RAL 160-3 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see RAL 110-2 on one side and RAL 160-3 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.
