Fresh VioletPPGvsCement greyRAL ClassicΔE 29.3Very different colors

Fresh Violet (PPG) and Cement grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Fresh Violet belongs to the blue-purple family and Cement grey to the grey family. The 16-point LRV gap — 40 for Fresh Violet vs 24 for Cement grey — means Fresh Violet will open up a space more effectively.

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.
