Telegrey 4 vs H496

Telegrey 4RAL ClassicvsH496TikkurilaΔE 4.6Noticeable difference

Telegrey 4 is a RAL Classic color while H496 comes from Tikkurila. Telegrey 4 reads as grey, while H496 reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 67 vs 59, H496 will read as the brighter of the two — a 8-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 4.6, 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. 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.
