Calm ThoughtsCloverdale PaintvsCloudy DayPPGΔE 2.0Subtle difference

Calm Thoughts is a Cloverdale Paint color while Cloudy Day comes from PPG. Both sit in the green family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 83 vs 76, Calm Thoughts will read as the brighter of the two — a 7-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. With a ΔE of 2.0, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.

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