Almond vs Antique White
Almond (Cloverdale Paint) and Antique White (Jotun) come from different manufacturers. Almond reads as beige, while Antique White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 20-point LRV gap — 76 for Almond vs 56 for Antique White — means Almond will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 13.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Almond vs Antique White in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Seeing Almond and Antique White in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Almond reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Antique White.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Almond returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The LRV gap is large enough that Almond will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Antique White would.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Almond returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Almond vs Antique White Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Almond on one side and Antique White on the other.
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.
