Red Clay vs Cement grey

Red ClayPPGvsCement greyRAL ClassicΔE 35.8Very different colors

Red Clay (PPG) and Cement grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Red Clay reads as pink-red, while Cement grey reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 13-point LRV gap — 24 for Cement grey vs 11 for Red Clay — means Cement grey will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 35.8 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.
