Grey aluminium vs RAL 830-M
Where Grey aluminium belongs to RAL Classic's range, RAL 830-M is a RAL Effect color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Grey aluminium (LRV 29) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 830-M (LRV 22), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 1.9, 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.
