Cement Grey

RAL 7033 Cement Grey is a green-toned grey that captures the color of freshly mixed Portland cement before it fully cures. This practical, industrial shade is specified for warehouse design, utilitarian buildings, and industrial architecture where a functional, honest aesthetic is appropriate. Cement Grey has gained new appreciation in the industrial-chic design movement, where its raw, unfinished quality is celebrated in converted warehouse lofts, brewery taprooms, and creative studio spaces.
