Fresh Sage vs RAL 760-4

Fresh SageDuluxvsRAL 760-4RAL EffectΔE 6.6Noticeable difference

Where Fresh Sage belongs to Dulux's range, RAL 760-4 is a RAL Effect color. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. Fresh Sage (LRV 33) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 760-4 (LRV 29), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Fresh Sage vs RAL 760-4 in Real Spaces

4 real rooms side by side. Fresh Sage and RAL 760-4 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

In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Fresh Sage gives the walls a little more lift.

Bedroom

The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Fresh Sage reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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.
