PlateauPPGvsCement greyRAL ClassicΔE 37.5Very different colors

Plateau (PPG) and Cement grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Plateau belongs to the blue family and Cement grey to the grey family. The 52-point LRV gap — 76 for Plateau vs 24 for Cement grey — means Plateau will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 37.5 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.
