Sandy vs Grey beige

SandyJotunvsGrey beigeRAL ClassicΔE 2.3Subtle difference

Where Sandy belongs to Jotun's range, Grey beige is a RAL Classic color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (30 vs 31), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 2.3, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
