Pristine vs Cement grey
Pristine (Benjamin Moore) and Cement grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Pristine reads as beige, while Cement grey reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 51-point LRV gap — 75 for Pristine vs 24 for Cement grey — means Pristine will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 37.4 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.

Pristine vs Cement grey Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Pristine on one side and Cement grey on the other.
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.
