Turning Leaf vs RAL 760-1
Where Turning Leaf belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, RAL 760-1 is a RAL Effect color. Turning Leaf reads as green-yellow, while RAL 760-1 reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. RAL 760-1 (LRV 71) reflects noticeably more light than Turning Leaf (LRV 67), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Turning Leaf vs RAL 760-1 in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Turning Leaf and RAL 760-1 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
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — RAL 760-1 gives the walls a little more lift.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. RAL 760-1 reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. RAL 760-1 reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. RAL 760-1 reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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.
