Overcoat vs Mouse grey
Overcoat (Benjamin Moore) and Mouse grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 18 for Mouse grey vs 15 for Overcoat — means Mouse grey will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 2.9 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.
