Impression vs Pebble grey

ImpressionJotunvsPebble greyRAL ClassicΔE 8.7Noticeable difference

Impression (Jotun) and Pebble grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Impression reads as beige-greige, while Pebble grey reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 4-point LRV gap — 45 for Pebble grey vs 40 for Impression — means Pebble grey will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 8.7 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Impression vs Pebble grey in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. Impression and Pebble 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. Pebble grey has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

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.
