Stonington Gray vs Pale Green
Stonington Gray (Benjamin Moore) and Pale Green (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Stonington Gray reads as grey, while Pale Green reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 28-point LRV gap — 59 for Stonington Gray vs 31 for Pale Green — means Stonington Gray will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 24.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Stonington Gray vs Pale Green in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Seeing Stonington 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. Stonington 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. Stonington Gray returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Stonington Gray returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. Stonington Gray returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Stonington Gray vs Pale Green Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Stonington 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.
