DianthaCloverdale PaintvsTallowFarrow & BallΔE 2.0Subtle difference

Where Diantha belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Tallow is a Farrow & Ball color. Diantha reads as beige-yellow, while Tallow reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (88 vs 87), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 2.0, 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 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Diantha vs Tallow in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. Diantha and Tallow 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.

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. At this scale the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side, as shown here, to reliably tell them apart.

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.
