Iron grey vs Squirrel grey
Both from RAL Classic's palette. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. Squirrel grey (LRV 26) reflects noticeably more light than Iron grey (LRV 12), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 18.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
