Chinese Cherry vs Bongo Jazz 5
Where Chinese Cherry belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Bongo Jazz 5 is a Dulux color. These are both beige-pinks, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-pink to land. Bongo Jazz 5 (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Chinese Cherry (LRV 72), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.0, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
