Winter Gray vs RAL 170-1
Winter Gray (Benjamin Moore) and RAL 170-1 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 62 for Winter Gray vs 58 for RAL 170-1 — means Winter Gray will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 2.8 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.
