Clean Air vs April Showers

Clean AirCloverdale PaintvsApril ShowersPPGΔE 3.8Noticeable difference

Where Clean Air belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, April Showers is a PPG color. These are both yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within yellow to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (71 vs 69), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. The ΔE 3.8 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.

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