Coastal Storm vs Grey aluminium
Coastal Storm (Behr) and Grey aluminium (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 8-point LRV gap — 29 for Grey aluminium vs 21 for Coastal Storm — means Grey aluminium will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 2.9 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.
