Green Leaf vs RAL 770-6

Green LeafJotunvsRAL 770-6RAL EffectΔE 4.4Noticeable difference

Where Green Leaf belongs to Jotun's range, RAL 770-6 is a RAL Effect color. Green Leaf reads as green-greige, while RAL 770-6 reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (24 vs 21), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. The ΔE 4.4 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.

Green Leaf vs RAL 770-6 in Real Spaces

4 real rooms side by side. Green Leaf and RAL 770-6 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. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

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.
