Birchwood vs Cement grey
Birchwood (Benjamin Moore) and Cement grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Birchwood reads as beige-greige, while Cement grey reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 23 vs 24 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. A ΔE of 20.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Birchwood vs Cement grey Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Birchwood on one side and Cement grey 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.
