Dusty grey vs Pearl dark grey
Both from RAL Classic's palette. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Dusty grey (LRV 23) reflects noticeably more light than Pearl dark grey (LRV 20), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 0.8, 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.
