RAL Effect

Green grey (RAL Classic) and RAL 180-1 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. The 36-point LRV gap — 49 for RAL 180-1 vs 13 for Green grey — means RAL 180-1 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 36.9 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.

Green grey vs RAL 180-1 in Real Spaces

Seeing Green grey and RAL 180-1 in actual rooms makes the difference concrete. Browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall. Showing 3 room types where both colors have photos.

Bedroom

Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. RAL 180-1 returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

House

A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. RAL 180-1 returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Kitchen Cabinets

RAL 180-1 returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
