Victorian Plum vs Cement grey

Victorian PlumPPGvsCement greyRAL ClassicΔE 28.9Very different colors

Victorian Plum (PPG) and Cement grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Victorian Plum reads as pink, while Cement grey reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 8-point LRV gap — 24 for Cement grey vs 16 for Victorian Plum — means Cement grey will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 28.9 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.
