Pearl mouse grey vs Quartz grey
Both from RAL Classic's palette. Pearl mouse grey (LRV 34) reflects noticeably more light than Quartz grey (LRV 17), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 8.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
Pearl mouse grey vs Quartz 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.
