Cedar vs Cement grey

CedarBenjamin MoorevsCement greyRAL ClassicΔE 55.1Very different colors

Cedar (Benjamin Moore) and Cement grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Cedar reads as beige, while Cement grey reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 24-point LRV gap — 24 for Cement grey vs 0 for Cedar — means Cement grey will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 55.1 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.

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.
