Zombie vs Basalt grey
Where Zombie belongs to PPG's range, Basalt grey is a RAL Classic color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Basalt grey (LRV 14) reflects noticeably more light than Zombie (LRV 10), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.3, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
