Palace vs RAL 210-M
Where Palace belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, RAL 210-M is a RAL Effect color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (38 vs 38), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 2.6, 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.
Palace vs RAL 210-M in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Palace and RAL 210-M 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.
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.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. At this scale the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side, as shown here, to reliably tell them apart.

Digital color is approximate.
