Alfalfa Extract vs RAL 230-6
Where Alfalfa Extract belongs to Behr's range, RAL 230-6 is a RAL Effect color. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. Alfalfa Extract (LRV 11) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 230-6 (LRV 8), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 9.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
