Moss grey vs Stone grey
Both from RAL Classic's palette. 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.
Moss grey vs Stone grey Color Comparison
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.

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.
