St. Augustine vs RAL 740-1
Where St. Augustine belongs to PPG's range, RAL 740-1 is a RAL Effect color. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. St. Augustine (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 740-1 (LRV 65), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
