Window grey vs Modern Lavender
Where Window grey belongs to RAL Classic's range, Modern Lavender is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. Modern Lavender (LRV 40) reflects noticeably more light than Window grey (LRV 36), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
