Hearth vs Black grey
Hearth (PPG) and Black grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. The 54-point LRV gap — 60 for Hearth vs 6 for Black grey — means Hearth will open up a space more effectively.

Hearth vs Black grey Color Comparison
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.
