Quartz grey vs Pastel blue
Both are RAL Classic colors. At LRV 29 vs 17, Pastel blue will read as the brighter of the two — a 12-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 29.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
Quartz grey vs Pastel blue 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
Front doors are seen in isolation against the rest of the facade, which makes them a high-stakes surface where even subtle differences matter. Pastel blue returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
