Braided Wool vs Greenhouse

Both from Cloverdale Paint's palette. Hue-wise, Braided Wool belongs to the greige-grey family and Greenhouse to the green-greige family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (39 vs 40), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 1.2, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Braided Wool vs Greenhouse in Real Spaces

5 real rooms side by side. Braided Wool and Greenhouse 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

In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The two are close enough that the choice comes down to finer qualities — undertone, texture, what the color sits next to.

Bedroom

The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. At this scale the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side, as shown here, to reliably tell them apart.

Dining Room

A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. In photos like these you're seeing the difference at its most direct. In a finished room, the distinction is there but not dramatic.

Digital color is approximate.

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