Steamed Spinach vs RAL 740-M
Where Steamed Spinach belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 740-M is a RAL Effect color. These are both blue-greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-green to land. Steamed Spinach (LRV 16) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 740-M (LRV 11), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.2, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
