Bahama Waters vs Pale Green

Bahama WatersBenjamin MoorevsPale GreenRAL ClassicΔE 26.7Very different colors

Bahama Waters (Benjamin Moore) and Pale Green (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the green family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 38-point LRV gap — 69 for Bahama Waters vs 31 for Pale Green — means Bahama Waters will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 26.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
