Livin' Large vs RAL 230-1
Livin' Large (PPG) and RAL 230-1 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. These are both green-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-yellow to land. The 5-point LRV gap — 64 for Livin' Large vs 59 for RAL 230-1 — means Livin' Large will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 11.1 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.
