Richmond Gold vs Pale Green

Richmond GoldBenjamin MoorevsPale GreenRAL ClassicΔE 26.3Very different colors

Richmond Gold (Benjamin Moore) and Pale Green (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Richmond Gold reads as beige, while Pale Green reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 31 vs 31 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. A ΔE of 26.3 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.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
