Paper vs RAL 110-2
Paper (Tikkurila) and RAL 110-2 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. The 17-point LRV gap — 88 for Paper vs 72 for RAL 110-2 — means Paper will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 7.6 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
Paper vs RAL 110-2 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.

Paper vs RAL 110-2 in Real Spaces
Paper and RAL 110-2 are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone. These real-room photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions. Showing 4 room types where both colors have photos.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Paper reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than RAL 110-2.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Paper returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Paper returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
House
A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. Paper returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
