Silver Charm vs K500
Where Silver Charm belongs to PPG's range, K500 is a Tikkurila color. Silver Charm reads as grey, while K500 reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. K500 (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than Silver Charm (LRV 45), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
