Clytemnestra vs Delicate Veil
Clytemnestra (Cloverdale Paint) and Delicate Veil (Dulux) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Clytemnestra belongs to the greige-white family and Delicate Veil to the beige-greige family. The 6-point LRV gap — 83 for Delicate Veil vs 77 for Clytemnestra — means Delicate Veil will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 2.0 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Clytemnestra vs Delicate Veil in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Clytemnestra and Delicate Veil 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.
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. Delicate Veil has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Delicate Veil has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Clytemnestra vs Delicate Veil Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Clytemnestra on one side and Delicate Veil 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.
