Yellow green vs RAL 230-4 in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. Yellow green and RAL 230-4 are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

Digital color is approximate.

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