FrostCloverdale PaintvsAgate GreyRAL ClassicΔE 2.3Subtle difference

Frost (Cloverdale Paint) and Agate Grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Frost belongs to the grey family and Agate Grey to the green-grey family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 45 vs 45 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. A ΔE of 2.3 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Frost vs Agate Grey in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. Frost and Agate Grey are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

Kitchen

Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. In photos like these you're seeing the difference at its most direct. In a finished room, the distinction is there but not dramatic.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
