Doubles vs Pale Green

DoublesCloverdale PaintvsPale GreenRAL ClassicΔE 30.6Very different colors

Doubles is a Cloverdale Paint color while Pale Green comes from RAL Classic. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. At LRV 31 vs 9, Pale Green will read as the brighter of the two — a 22-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 30.6, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Digital color is approximate.
