Planetary SilverBehrvsPale GreenRAL ClassicΔE NaNVery different colors

Planetary Silver is a Behr color while Pale Green comes from RAL Classic. Hue-wise, Planetary Silver belongs to the grey family and Pale Green to the green family. At LRV 62 vs 31, Planetary Silver will read as the brighter of the two — a 31-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE NaN, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Planetary Silver and Pale Green in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.

Living Room

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.
