Cement grey vs Y436
Cement grey (RAL Classic) and Y436 (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Cement grey reads as grey, while Y436 reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 41-point LRV gap — 65 for Y436 vs 24 for Cement grey — means Y436 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 32.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
