Crystal Lake vs Cement grey

Crystal LakePPGvsCement greyRAL ClassicΔE 27.2Very different colors

Crystal Lake (PPG) and Cement grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Crystal Lake reads as blue, while Cement grey reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 19-point LRV gap — 43 for Crystal Lake vs 24 for Cement grey — means Crystal Lake will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 27.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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. 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.
