Praline Melt vs Cement grey

Praline MeltDuluxvsCement greyRAL ClassicΔE 5.9Noticeable difference

Where Praline Melt belongs to Dulux's range, Cement grey is a RAL Classic color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (22 vs 24), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. The ΔE 5.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
