Tingle vs RAL 240-6
Tingle (Cloverdale Paint) and RAL 240-6 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the green family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 6-point LRV gap — 17 for Tingle vs 11 for RAL 240-6 — means Tingle will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 8.4 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Tingle vs RAL 240-6 in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Tingle and RAL 240-6 are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
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. Tingle reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
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. Tingle has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Tingle has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Tingle vs RAL 240-6 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Tingle on one side and RAL 240-6 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.
