Graystone vs Pale Green
Graystone (Benjamin Moore) and Pale Green (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Graystone reads as grey, while Pale Green reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 31 vs 31 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. A ΔE of 16.4 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.

Graystone vs Pale Green Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Graystone on one side and Pale Green 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.
