Pale Green vs Sea Smoke
Pale Green (RAL Classic) and Sea Smoke (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Pale Green reads as green, while Sea Smoke reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 32-point LRV gap — 63 for Sea Smoke vs 31 for Pale Green — means Sea Smoke will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 24.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Pale Green vs Sea Smoke in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Pale Green and Sea Smoke in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Sea Smoke reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Pale Green.
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. Sea Smoke returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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.
