Beacon Fog vs V438
Where Beacon Fog belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, V438 is a Tikkurila color. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. Beacon Fog (LRV 40) reflects noticeably more light than V438 (LRV 37), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
