Spanish Brown vs Olive grey
Where Spanish Brown belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Olive grey is a RAL Classic color. Spanish Brown reads as beige-greige, while Olive grey reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (20 vs 22), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. The ΔE 7.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
