Everlasting Sage vs Pigeon
Where Everlasting Sage belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Pigeon is a Farrow & Ball color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Pigeon (LRV 51) reflects noticeably more light than Everlasting Sage (LRV 32), a difference of 19 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Everlasting Sage vs Pigeon in Real Spaces

Living Room

Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Pigeon reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Everlasting Sage.
