Colonial Brick vs Cement grey

Colonial BrickBenjamin MoorevsCement greyRAL ClassicΔE 34.5Very different colors

Colonial Brick (Benjamin Moore) and Cement grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Colonial Brick reads as pink-red, while Cement grey reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 5-point LRV gap — 24 for Cement grey vs 20 for Colonial Brick — means Cement grey will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 34.5 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
