Moss grey vs Stone grey
Both from RAL Classic's palette. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Stone grey (LRV 29) reflects noticeably more light than Moss grey (LRV 20), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 9.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Moss grey vs Stone grey in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Moss grey and Stone grey are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
House
Seen across an entire facade, subtle tonal differences become pronounced. What reads as nearly the same on a chip often reads as clearly different at scale. Stone grey reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Moss grey.
Front Door
A front door is a focal point — small color differences read clearly at this concentrated scale. The LRV gap is large enough that Stone grey will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Moss grey would.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. Stone grey reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Moss grey.

Moss grey vs Stone grey Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Moss grey on one side and Stone grey on the other.
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.
