RAL 230-M vs Straightforward Green
Where RAL 230-M belongs to RAL Effect's range, Straightforward 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. Straightforward Green (LRV 29) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 230-M (LRV 25), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
