BrightonLittle GreenevsRAL 740-2RAL EffectΔE 4.9Noticeable difference

Where Brighton belongs to Little Greene's range, RAL 740-2 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. Brighton (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 740-2 (LRV 59), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
