Purple DragonPPGvsCement greyRAL ClassicΔE 35.2Very different colors

Purple Dragon (PPG) and Cement grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Purple Dragon reads as blue-purple, while Cement grey reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 31-point LRV gap — 55 for Purple Dragon vs 24 for Cement grey — means Purple Dragon will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 35.2 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
