Pebble grey vs Gray Area
Where Pebble grey belongs to RAL Classic's range, Gray Area is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Pebble grey (LRV 45) reflects noticeably more light than Gray Area (LRV 39), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
