At ΔE 3.6, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Filtered Forest vs RAL 740-2 in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Filtered Forest and RAL 740-2 are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Filtered Forest returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Filtered Forest will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than RAL 740-2 would.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The LRV gap is large enough that Filtered Forest will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than RAL 740-2 would.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Filtered Forest will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than RAL 740-2 would.

Filtered Forest vs RAL 740-2 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Filtered Forest on one side and RAL 740-2 on the other.
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.
