RAL 860-M vs Mystical Shade
Where RAL 860-M belongs to RAL Effect's range, Mystical Shade is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Mystical Shade (LRV 40) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 860-M (LRV 36), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
