·
RAL Classic

Graphic Charcoal (Behr) and Basalt grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. The 3-point LRV gap — 14 for Basalt grey vs 11 for Graphic Charcoal — means Basalt grey will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 1.8 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.

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.
