Lime Tart vs RAL 220-1
Where Lime Tart belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 220-1 is a RAL Effect color. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. Lime Tart (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 220-1 (LRV 31), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 7.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
