RAL Classic

Ashen (PPG) and Grey Blue (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. The 45-point LRV gap — 52 for Ashen vs 7 for Grey Blue — means Ashen will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 48.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
