Fern greenRAL ClassicvsRAL 250-6RAL EffectΔE 10.5Distinct difference

Fern green (RAL Classic) and RAL 250-6 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Fern green belongs to the green-yellow family and RAL 250-6 to the beige-yellow family. The 4-point LRV gap — 16 for Fern green vs 12 for RAL 250-6 — means Fern green will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 10.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
