Plumosa vs Pale Green

PlumosaPPGvsPale GreenRAL ClassicΔE 15.0Distinct difference

Plumosa (PPG) and Pale Green (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 29 vs 31 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. A ΔE of 15.0 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.
