Incense Stick vs Cement grey

Incense StickBenjamin MoorevsCement greyRAL ClassicΔE 24.5Distinct difference

Incense Stick is a Benjamin Moore color while Cement grey comes from RAL Classic. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. At LRV 24 vs 8, Cement grey will read as the brighter of the two — a 16-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 24.5, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.

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