Secluded WoodsBehrvsRAL 180-1RAL EffectΔE 40.3Very different colors

Secluded Woods (Behr) and RAL 180-1 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Secluded Woods reads as green-grey, while RAL 180-1 reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 39-point LRV gap — 49 for RAL 180-1 vs 9 for Secluded Woods — means RAL 180-1 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 40.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
