Chanterelle vs Velvet
Chanterelle (Cloverdale Paint) and Velvet (Jotun) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 5-point LRV gap — 57 for Chanterelle vs 52 for Velvet — means Chanterelle will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 8.8 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Chanterelle vs Velvet in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Chanterelle and Velvet 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
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Chanterelle reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Chanterelle has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The brightness difference is modest but present — Chanterelle gives the walls a little more lift.

Chanterelle vs Velvet Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Chanterelle on one side and Velvet on the other.
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.
