RAL 220-3 vs L380
RAL 220-3 (RAL Effect) and L380 (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the green family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 13-point LRV gap — 20 for L380 vs 7 for RAL 220-3 — means L380 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 21.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

RAL 220-3 vs L380 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see RAL 220-3 on one side and L380 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.
