Curlew vs Beige grey
Where Curlew belongs to PPG's range, Beige grey is a RAL Classic color. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Beige grey (LRV 17) reflects noticeably more light than Curlew (LRV 14), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.2, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
