Ground Coffee vs Brown grey
Ground Coffee (PPG) and Brown grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 9 vs 11 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. ΔE 4.4 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Ground Coffee vs Brown grey Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Ground Coffee on one side and Brown 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.
