Potters Clay vs Cement grey
Potters Clay (Benjamin Moore) and Cement grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Potters Clay reads as beige, while Cement grey reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 4-point LRV gap — 28 for Potters Clay vs 24 for Cement grey — means Potters Clay will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 26.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
