Gray Shingle vs K488
Where Gray Shingle belongs to Sherwin-Williams's range, K488 is a Tikkurila color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. K488 (LRV 34) reflects noticeably more light than Gray Shingle (LRV 29), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
