S 3502-B vs Granite
Where S 3502-B belongs to NCS's range, Granite is a Tikkurila color. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction.

At ΔE 2.4, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
