Smoke Bush vs RAL 770-3
Where Smoke Bush belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 770-3 is a RAL Effect color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Smoke Bush (LRV 21) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 770-3 (LRV 17), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
