Soft Chinchilla vs Light grey
Where Soft Chinchilla belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Light grey is a RAL Classic color. Soft Chinchilla reads as blue, while Light grey reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Light grey (LRV 58) reflects noticeably more light than Soft Chinchilla (LRV 53), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 8.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Digital color is approximate.
