Metropolis vs Pale Green
Where Metropolis belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Pale Green is a RAL Classic color. Metropolis reads as grey, while Pale Green reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pale Green (LRV 31) reflects noticeably more light than Metropolis (LRV 24), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 19.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Metropolis 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.
