Cirrus vs Steel Symphony 4
Where Cirrus belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Steel Symphony 4 is a Dulux color. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. Steel Symphony 4 (LRV 54) reflects noticeably more light than Cirrus (LRV 51), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.5, 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 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Cirrus vs Steel Symphony 4 in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Cirrus and Steel Symphony 4 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 brightness difference is modest but present — Steel Symphony 4 gives the walls a little more lift.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Steel Symphony 4 reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
