Silver grey
RAL Classic's Silver grey is a blue shade whose quieter details emerge through comparison. An LRV of 31.7 places it through the middle of the scale, where color and depth can remain visible as the light changes. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
