Cool Ashes vs Platinum grey
Cool Ashes is a Behr color while Platinum grey comes from RAL Classic. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. At LRV 32 vs 29, Platinum grey will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. With a ΔE of 1.7, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
