Pure Essence vs Pastel green
Pure Essence (Benjamin Moore) and Pastel green (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. The 8-point LRV gap — 66 for Pure Essence vs 58 for Pastel green — means Pure Essence will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 10.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
