Aquamarine vs RAL 750-2

AquamarineLittle GreenevsRAL 750-2RAL EffectΔE 8.2Noticeable difference

Where Aquamarine belongs to Little Greene's range, RAL 750-2 is a RAL Effect color. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. Aquamarine (LRV 46) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 750-2 (LRV 39), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 8.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
