Green Umber vs RAL 240-1
Green Umber is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 240-1 comes from RAL Effect. Green Umber reads as beige-green, while RAL 240-1 reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 63 vs 59, RAL 240-1 will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 3.6, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

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.
