Felted Wool vs Light grey
Where Felted Wool belongs to PPG's range, Light grey is a RAL Classic color. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Light grey (LRV 58) reflects noticeably more light than Felted Wool (LRV 55), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.0, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.

Felted Wool vs Light grey in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Felted Wool and Light grey are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Light grey gives the walls a little more lift.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Light grey reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
House
Seen across an entire facade, subtle tonal differences become pronounced. What reads as nearly the same on a chip often reads as clearly different at scale. Light grey reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Front Door
A front door is a focal point — small color differences read clearly at this concentrated scale. The brightness difference is modest but present — Light grey gives the walls a little more lift.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Felted Wool on one side and Light grey on the other.
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.
