Down vs Pale Green

DownLittle GreenevsPale GreenRAL ClassicΔE 32.7Very different colors

Down (Little Greene) and Pale Green (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Down reads as beige, while Pale Green reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 49-point LRV gap — 80 for Down vs 31 for Pale Green — means Down will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 32.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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.
