Java vs Pale Green
Java (Benjamin Moore) and Pale Green (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Java belongs to the beige-greige family and Pale Green to the green family. The 23-point LRV gap — 31 for Pale Green vs 9 for Java — means Pale Green will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 38.4 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.

Java vs Pale Green Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Java 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.
