Asphalt vs Pearl mouse grey
Where Asphalt belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Pearl mouse grey is a RAL Classic color. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Pearl mouse grey (LRV 34) reflects noticeably more light than Asphalt (LRV 21), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.1, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
