Bud Green vs RAL 230-1
Bud Green (Benjamin Moore) and RAL 230-1 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Bud Green reads as green, while RAL 230-1 reads as green-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 5-point LRV gap — 64 for Bud Green vs 59 for RAL 230-1 — means Bud Green will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 14.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Bud Green vs RAL 230-1 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Bud Green on one side and RAL 230-1 on the other.
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.
