Safari GreenPPGvsRAL 780-3RAL EffectΔE 6.8Noticeable difference

Where Safari Green belongs to PPG's range, RAL 780-3 is a RAL Effect color. Hue-wise, Safari Green belongs to the beige-green family and RAL 780-3 to the beige family. RAL 780-3 (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Safari Green (LRV 54), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light.

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.
