Stampede vs Cement grey
Where Stampede belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Cement grey is a RAL Classic color. Stampede reads as greige-grey, while Cement grey reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cement grey (LRV 24) reflects noticeably more light than Stampede (LRV 20), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Stampede vs Cement grey in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Stampede and Cement grey are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Cement grey gives the walls a little more lift.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Cement grey reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
House
Seen across an entire facade, subtle tonal differences become pronounced. What reads as nearly the same on a chip often reads as clearly different at scale. Cement grey reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. Cement grey reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Stampede 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.
