Stardust vs Cement grey
Stardust is a Cloverdale Paint color while Cement grey comes from RAL Classic. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. At LRV 74 vs 24, Stardust will read as the brighter of the two — a 50-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 35.2, 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.
Stardust vs Cement grey in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Seeing Stardust 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
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Stardust returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Stardust will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Cement grey would.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Stardust will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Cement grey would.

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