Eugenia vs Pigeon

EugeniaCloverdale PaintvsPigeonFarrow & BallΔE 26.1Very different colors

Eugenia is a Cloverdale Paint color while Pigeon comes from Farrow & Ball. Eugenia reads as beige, while Pigeon reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 80 vs 51, Eugenia will read as the brighter of the two — a 29-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 26.1, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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. Eugenia returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Bedroom

Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Eugenia will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Pigeon would.

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.
