White Lie vs Diamond Stud
White Lie (Behr) and Diamond Stud (Cloverdale Paint) come from different manufacturers. White Lie reads as grey-white, while Diamond Stud reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 73 vs 72 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. A ΔE of 0.9 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.
