Light green vs RAL 740-3
Light green is a RAL Classic color while RAL 740-3 comes from RAL Effect. Light green reads as blue-green, while RAL 740-3 reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 44 and 45, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 8.3, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Light green vs RAL 740-3 in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Light green and RAL 740-3 are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.
House
At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.
Kitchen Cabinets
On cabinetry, undertone and temperature become more pronounced against countertops and hardware. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

Light green vs RAL 740-3 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Light green on one side and RAL 740-3 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.
