Cedar vs Green brown paint color comparison

Cedar vs Green brown

CedarCloverdale PaintvsGreen brownRAL ClassicΔE 7.7Noticeable difference

Where Cedar belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Green brown is a RAL Classic color. Cedar reads as beige, while Green brown reads as beige-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cedar (LRV 21) reflects noticeably more light than Green brown (LRV 18), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 7.7 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.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
