Calm Interlude vs Iron grey
Where Calm Interlude belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Iron 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. Iron grey (LRV 12) reflects noticeably more light than Calm Interlude (LRV 9), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
