Pebble grey vs Western Reserve

Pebble grey is a RAL Classic color while Western Reserve comes from Sherwin-Williams. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 45 vs 36, Pebble grey will read as the brighter of the two — a 8-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 5.1, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
