Chalk vs RAL 120-3
Chalk is a Tikkurila color while RAL 120-3 comes from RAL Effect. At LRV 85 vs 81, RAL 120-3 will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. With a ΔE of 1.8, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
Chalk vs RAL 120-3 Color Comparison
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.
