Daring Deception vs Reflection
Where Daring Deception belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Reflection is a Jotun color. Hue-wise, Daring Deception belongs to the pink-red family and Reflection to the beige-greige family. Reflection (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Daring Deception (LRV 77), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Daring Deception vs Reflection in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Daring Deception and Reflection 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 — Reflection gives the walls a little more lift.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Reflection reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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.
