Coastal Crush vs Agate Grey

Coastal CrushPPGvsAgate GreyRAL ClassicΔE 6.5Noticeable difference

Where Coastal Crush belongs to PPG's range, Agate Grey is a RAL Classic color. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. Coastal Crush (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than Agate Grey (LRV 45), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
