Lichen Green vs RAL 180-1
Lichen Green (Benjamin Moore) and RAL 180-1 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Lichen Green reads as beige-green, while RAL 180-1 reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 21-point LRV gap — 49 for RAL 180-1 vs 27 for Lichen Green — means RAL 180-1 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 53.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Lichen Green vs RAL 180-1 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Lichen Green on one side and RAL 180-1 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.
