PorcelainCloverdale PaintvsCement greyRAL ClassicΔE 36.6Very different colors

Porcelain is a Cloverdale Paint color while Cement grey comes from RAL Classic. Hue-wise, Porcelain belongs to the greige-white family and Cement grey to the grey family. At LRV 76 vs 24, Porcelain will read as the brighter of the two — a 52-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 36.6, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
