Steel Parade vs Stormy
Steel Parade is a Dulux color while Stormy comes from PPG. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. With LRVs of 47 and 49, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 1.2, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
