Ginger Root vs Cement grey
Ginger Root (PPG) and Cement grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Ginger Root belongs to the beige family and Cement grey to the grey family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 23 vs 24 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. A ΔE of 43.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate.
