Licorice vs Pale Green
Licorice (Tikkurila) and Pale Green (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. The 24-point LRV gap — 31 for Pale Green vs 7 for Licorice — means Pale Green will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 38.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
Licorice vs Pale Green Color Comparison
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.

Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Pale Green returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
