Brighton vs Pale Green

BrightonLittle GreenevsPale GreenRAL ClassicΔE 23.5Distinct difference

Brighton (Little Greene) and Pale Green (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. The 32-point LRV gap — 63 for Brighton vs 31 for Pale Green — means Brighton will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 23.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Bedroom

Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Brighton returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Digital color is approximate.

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