Aquafir vs Clouded Pearl 2
Aquafir (Cloverdale Paint) and Clouded Pearl 2 (Dulux) come from different manufacturers. Aquafir reads as blue, while Clouded Pearl 2 reads as green-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 82 vs 83 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. A ΔE of 1.7 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
