Lava Gray vs Pale Green

PPG
·
RAL Classic

Lava Gray (PPG) and Pale Green (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. The 18-point LRV gap — 31 for Pale Green vs 13 for Lava Gray — means Pale Green will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 30.0 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.
