Blue grey vs Rain Cloud
Where Blue grey belongs to RAL Classic's range, Rain Cloud is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the blue-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Blue grey (LRV 16) reflects noticeably more light than Rain Cloud (LRV 11), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
