Citrus Yellow vs Pale Green

Citrus YellowPPGvsPale GreenRAL ClassicΔE 32.0Very different colors

Citrus Yellow (PPG) and Pale Green (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Citrus Yellow belongs to the beige-yellow family and Pale Green to the green family. The 23-point LRV gap — 54 for Citrus Yellow vs 31 for Pale Green — means Citrus Yellow will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 32.0 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.
