Tea Light vs Cement grey
Tea Light (Benjamin Moore) and Cement grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Tea Light reads as green-yellow, while Cement grey reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 36-point LRV gap — 60 for Tea Light vs 24 for Cement grey — means Tea Light will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 28.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Tea Light vs Cement grey in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Tea Light and Cement grey in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Tea Light reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Cement grey.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. Tea Light returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Tea Light vs Cement grey Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Tea Light 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.
