Trumpet vs RAL 260-3

TrumpetLittle GreenevsRAL 260-3RAL EffectΔE 15.9Distinct difference

Trumpet is a Little Greene color while RAL 260-3 comes from RAL Effect. Both sit in the beige-yellow family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 82 vs 61, Trumpet will read as the brighter of the two — a 21-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 15.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.
