Soft PumpkinBenjamin MoorevsPale GreenRAL ClassicΔE 38.6Very different colors

Soft Pumpkin (Benjamin Moore) and Pale Green (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Soft Pumpkin reads as beige, while Pale Green reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 11-point LRV gap — 42 for Soft Pumpkin vs 31 for Pale Green — means Soft Pumpkin will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 38.6 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.
