Beige grey vs Iron grey

Beige greyRAL ClassicvsIron greyRAL ClassicΔE 15.0Distinct difference

Beige grey and Iron grey come from the same RAL Classic collection. Hue-wise, Beige grey belongs to the greige-grey family and Iron grey to the blue-grey family. The 5-point LRV gap — 17 for Beige grey vs 12 for Iron grey — means Beige grey will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 15.0 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.
