Mint green vs Traffic green
Both from RAL Classic's palette. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. Traffic green (LRV 20) reflects noticeably more light than Mint green (LRV 14), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 8.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
