Apollo GoldPPGvsPale GreenRAL ClassicΔE 37.2Very different colors

Apollo Gold (PPG) and Pale Green (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Apollo Gold belongs to the beige family and Pale Green to the green family. The 18-point LRV gap — 49 for Apollo Gold vs 31 for Pale Green — means Apollo Gold will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 37.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
