Seagull Gray vs Pale Green
Seagull Gray (Behr) and Pale Green (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Seagull Gray belongs to the greige-grey family and Pale Green to the green family. The 37-point LRV gap — 69 for Seagull Gray vs 31 for Pale Green — means Seagull Gray will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 28.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Seagull Gray vs Pale Green in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Seagull Gray and Pale Green in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Seagull Gray reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Pale Green.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Seagull Gray returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Seagull Gray vs Pale Green Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Seagull Gray on one side and Pale Green on the other.
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.
