RAL 850-1 vs Clay Figurine

RAL 850-1RAL EffectvsClay FigurineValsparΔE 2.5Subtle difference

Where RAL 850-1 belongs to RAL Effect's range, Clay Figurine is a Valspar color. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (53 vs 54), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 2.5, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

RAL 850-1 vs Clay Figurine in Real Spaces

Living Room

In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The two are close enough that the choice comes down to finer qualities — undertone, texture, what the color sits next to.

Bedroom

The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. At this scale the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side, as shown here, to reliably tell them apart.
