Fern green vs Pale Green
Both are RAL Classic colors. Fern green reads as green-yellow, while Pale Green reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 31 vs 16, Pale Green will read as the brighter of the two — a 15-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 23.1, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Fern green on one side and Pale Green on the other.
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.
