Caldwell Green vs RAL 830-4
Where Caldwell Green belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 830-4 is a RAL Effect color. Caldwell Green reads as green-grey, while RAL 830-4 reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (16 vs 16), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. The ΔE 5.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Caldwell Green vs RAL 830-4 in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Caldwell Green and RAL 830-4 are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. The distinction reads clearly at room scale, making the choice between them concrete.

Caldwell Green vs RAL 830-4 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Caldwell Green on one side and RAL 830-4 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.
