Blue Granite vs Window grey

Blue GraniteCloverdale PaintvsWindow greyRAL ClassicΔE 4.6Noticeable difference

Where Blue Granite belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Window grey is a RAL Classic color. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. Blue Granite (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Window grey (LRV 36), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
