ArqueriteLittle GreenevsRAL 250-MRAL EffectΔE 59.1Very different colors

Arquerite is a Little Greene color while RAL 250-M comes from RAL Effect. Arquerite reads as grey, while RAL 250-M reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 34 vs 26, RAL 250-M will read as the brighter of the two — a 7-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 59.1, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
