RAL 110-2 vs Frosty White

RAL 110-2RAL EffectvsFrosty WhiteSherwin-WilliamsΔE 0.6Imperceptible difference

RAL 110-2 is a RAL Effect color while Frosty White comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. With LRVs of 72 and 72, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 0.6, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. The two are close enough that the choice comes down to finer qualities — undertone, texture, what the color sits next to.
