Limelight vs RAL 750-1

LimelightPPGvsRAL 750-1RAL EffectΔE 2.8Subtle difference

Limelight (PPG) and RAL 750-1 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 62 for RAL 750-1 vs 59 for Limelight — means RAL 750-1 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 2.8 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
