Muted Copper vs Black grey

Muted CopperPPGvsBlack greyRAL ClassicΔE 43.2Very different colors

Muted Copper (PPG) and Black grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Muted Copper reads as beige-pink, while Black grey reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 10-point LRV gap — 16 for Muted Copper vs 6 for Black grey — means Muted Copper will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 43.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
