White aluminium vs Smooth Stone
White aluminium (RAL Classic) and Smooth Stone (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. White aluminium reads as grey-white, while Smooth Stone reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 9-point LRV gap — 46 for White aluminium vs 37 for Smooth Stone — means White aluminium will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 5.5 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. 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.
