Antique Brass vs Pearl beige

Antique Brass is a Cloverdale Paint color while Pearl beige comes from RAL Classic. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. At LRV 35 vs 23, Pearl beige will read as the brighter of the two — a 11-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. With a ΔE of 2.7, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Antique Brass vs Pearl beige in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Antique Brass and Pearl beige 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. Pearl beige returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Bathroom

Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Pearl beige will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Antique Brass would.
