Charcoal Blue vs Squirrel grey
Charcoal Blue (Behr) and Squirrel grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. The 7-point LRV gap — 26 for Squirrel grey vs 19 for Charcoal Blue — means Squirrel grey will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 5.2 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
