Smokey Sage vs Cement grey
Smokey Sage (PPG) and Cement grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Smokey Sage reads as green-grey, while Cement grey reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins.

A ΔE of 1.8 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.
