Grey aluminium vs Moss grey

Grey aluminiumRAL ClassicvsMoss greyRAL ClassicΔE 8.0Noticeable difference

Grey aluminium and Moss grey come from the same RAL Classic collection. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 9-point LRV gap — 29 for Grey aluminium vs 20 for Moss grey — means Grey aluminium will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 8.0 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
