Silver Bells vs K496
Silver Bells (PPG) and K496 (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 4-point LRV gap — 50 for K496 vs 46 for Silver Bells — means K496 will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 3.8 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

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.
