SmokyCloverdale PaintvsGrey whiteRAL ClassicΔE 2.6Subtle difference

Smoky is a Cloverdale Paint color while Grey white comes from RAL Classic. Smoky reads as beige-greige, while Grey white reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 67 vs 63, Grey white will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. With a ΔE of 2.6, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. 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. 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.
