DeliciousCloverdale PaintvsFiddleheadCloverdale PaintΔE 3.9Noticeable difference

Both are Cloverdale Paint colors. Delicious reads as grey, while Fiddlehead reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 13 and 12, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 3.9, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Delicious vs Fiddlehead in Real Spaces

5 real rooms side by side. Delicious and Fiddlehead 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

Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

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.
