RAL 740-2 vs RAL 750-1

RAL 740-2RAL EffectvsRAL 750-1RAL EffectΔE 3.9Noticeable difference

Both are RAL Effect colors. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. At LRV 62 vs 59, RAL 750-1 will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 3.9, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

RAL 740-2 vs RAL 750-1 in Real Spaces

4 real rooms side by side. RAL 740-2 and RAL 750-1 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.

Living Room

Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

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.
