Tradewinds vs Pale Green

TradewindsPPGvsPale GreenRAL ClassicΔE 31.0Very different colors

Tradewinds (PPG) and Pale Green (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Tradewinds belongs to the blue family and Pale Green to the green family. The 38-point LRV gap — 69 for Tradewinds vs 31 for Pale Green — means Tradewinds will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 31.0 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.
