Drifting SandCloverdale PaintvsWinter's NapPPGΔE 1.6Subtle difference

Drifting Sand is a Cloverdale Paint color while Winter's Nap comes from PPG. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. With LRVs of 37 and 35, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 1.6, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.

Digital color is approximate.

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