Submarine Gray vs RAL 810-5
Submarine Gray (Behr) and RAL 810-5 (RAL Effect) 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. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 9 vs 10 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. A ΔE of 1.4 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Submarine Gray vs RAL 810-5 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Submarine Gray on one side and RAL 810-5 on the other.
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.
