Pale Green vs Opera Glass

Pale GreenRAL ClassicvsOpera GlassSherwin-WilliamsΔE 34.0Very different colors

Where Pale Green belongs to RAL Classic's range, Opera Glass is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. Opera Glass (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than Pale Green (LRV 31), a difference of 55 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 34.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
