PreludePPGvsPale GreenRAL ClassicΔE 34.8Very different colors

Prelude is a PPG color while Pale Green comes from RAL Classic. Hue-wise, Prelude belongs to the blue family and Pale Green to the green family. At LRV 81 vs 31, Prelude will read as the brighter of the two — a 50-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 34.8, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

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.
