Reflection vs Pale Green
Reflection (Cloverdale Paint) and Pale Green (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Reflection belongs to the grey family and Pale Green to the green family. The 16-point LRV gap — 47 for Reflection vs 31 for Pale Green — means Reflection will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 21.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Reflection vs Pale Green in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Seeing Reflection 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. Reflection 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. Reflection 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. Reflection returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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