Lampblack vs Cement grey

LampblackBenjamin MoorevsCement greyRAL ClassicΔE 8.1Noticeable difference

Where Lampblack belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Cement grey is a RAL Classic color. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (23 vs 24), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. The ΔE 8.1 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.

Digital color is approximate.

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