Sultan SandPPGvsCement greyRAL ClassicΔE 31.2Very different colors

Sultan Sand (PPG) and Cement grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Sultan Sand reads as beige-pink, while Cement grey reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 37-point LRV gap — 61 for Sultan Sand vs 24 for Cement grey — means Sultan Sand will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 31.2 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.
