Brown grey vs Tungsten
Where Brown grey belongs to RAL Classic's range, Tungsten is a Sherwin-Williams color. Brown grey reads as greige-grey, while Tungsten reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Brown grey (LRV 11) reflects noticeably more light than Tungsten (LRV 8), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 1.7, 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.

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.
