Imagine vs RAL 750-2
Imagine (Jotun) and RAL 750-2 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Imagine belongs to the green-grey family and RAL 750-2 to the green family. The 10-point LRV gap — 49 for Imagine vs 39 for RAL 750-2 — means Imagine will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 10.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Imagine vs RAL 750-2 in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Imagine and RAL 750-2 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. Imagine reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than RAL 750-2.
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. Imagine returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Imagine vs RAL 750-2 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Imagine on one side and RAL 750-2 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.
