Traffic green vs S 0500-N
Traffic green is a RAL Classic color while S 0500-N comes from NCS. At LRV 85 vs 20, S 0500-N will read as the brighter of the two — a 65-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 65.0, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
Traffic green vs S 0500-N 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.

House
At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. The LRV gap is large enough that S 0500-N will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Traffic green would.
