The 66-point LRV gap — 89 for Cotton Balls vs 23 for Cedar Path — means Cotton Balls will open up a space more effectively. Where Cedar Path leans green, Cotton Balls reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes.

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.
