Chocolate Velvet vs Olive grey
Where Chocolate Velvet belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Olive grey is a RAL Classic color. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Olive grey (LRV 22) reflects noticeably more light than Chocolate Velvet (LRV 20), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
