Mole vs V497
Both from Tikkurila's palette. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Mole (LRV 20) reflects noticeably more light than V497 (LRV 15), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Mole vs V497 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Mole on one side and V497 on the other.
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.
