Serene Breeze vs RAL 740-1
Where Serene Breeze belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 740-1 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. Serene Breeze (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 740-1 (LRV 65), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 3.0, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Serene Breeze vs RAL 740-1 in Real Spaces

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.
