Dark Velvet vs RAL 560-5
Dark Velvet is a Jotun color while RAL 560-5 comes from RAL Effect. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. At LRV 19 vs 14, RAL 560-5 will read as the brighter of the two — a 5-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 7.9, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
