Red orange vs Pale Green
Both from RAL Classic's palette. Pale Green (LRV 31) reflects noticeably more light than Red orange (LRV 18), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 68.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
Red orange vs Pale Green Color Comparison
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.
