RAL 740-2 vs Aloe

RAL 740-2RAL EffectvsAloeSherwin-WilliamsΔE 4.4Noticeable difference

Where RAL 740-2 belongs to RAL Effect's range, Aloe 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. RAL 740-2 (LRV 59) reflects noticeably more light than Aloe (LRV 55), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
