Braided WoolCloverdale PaintvsPebble greyRAL ClassicΔE 3.1Noticeable difference

Where Braided Wool belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Pebble grey is a RAL Classic color. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Pebble grey (LRV 45) reflects noticeably more light than Braided Wool (LRV 39), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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