Gulf Stream vs Light green
Where Gulf Stream belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Light green is a RAL Classic color. Hue-wise, Gulf Stream belongs to the blue family and Light green to the blue-green family. Light green (LRV 44) reflects noticeably more light than Gulf Stream (LRV 39), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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.
