MesmerizePPGvsCement greyRAL ClassicΔE 9.3Noticeable difference

Mesmerize (PPG) and Cement grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Mesmerize reads as greige-grey, while Cement grey reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 3-point LRV gap — 27 for Mesmerize vs 24 for Cement grey — means Mesmerize will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 9.3 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

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.
