AniseCloverdale PaintvsDusted Moss 1DuluxΔE 3.4Noticeable difference

With LRVs of 32 and 33, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 3.4, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

Anise vs Dusted Moss 1 in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Anise and Dusted Moss 1 are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

Living Room

Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

Bathroom

Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

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.
