Churlish GreenFarrow & BallvsRAL 240-2RAL EffectΔE 13.4Distinct difference

Churlish Green is a Farrow & Ball color while RAL 240-2 comes from RAL Effect. Churlish Green reads as beige-green, while RAL 240-2 reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 51 vs 38, Churlish Green will read as the brighter of the two — a 13-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 13.4, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

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.
