Balsam vs RAL 760-6
Balsam (Benjamin Moore) and RAL 760-6 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the green family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 5-point LRV gap — 15 for Balsam vs 10 for RAL 760-6 — means Balsam will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 6.4 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. 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.
