RAL 220-1 vs Rally Green
Where RAL 220-1 belongs to RAL Effect's range, Rally Green 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. Rally Green (LRV 44) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 220-1 (LRV 31), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 8.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
