Sand vs Reseda green

SandJotunvsReseda greenRAL ClassicΔE 33.8Very different colors

Sand is a Jotun color while Reseda green comes from RAL Classic. Sand reads as beige-greige, while Reseda green reads as green-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 56 vs 21, Sand will read as the brighter of the two — a 36-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 33.8, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
