Pearl beige vs Cement grey
Both from RAL Classic's palette. Pearl beige (LRV 35) reflects noticeably more light than Cement grey (LRV 24), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 7.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
Pearl beige vs Cement grey Color Comparison
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.

Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Pearl beige will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Cement grey would.
