Fern vs Jade
Fern (Cloverdale Paint) and Jade (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. The 8-point LRV gap — 41 for Jade vs 33 for Fern — means Jade will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 4.9 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Fern vs Jade in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Fern and Jade 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
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Jade reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Fern.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Jade returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Fern vs Jade Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Fern on one side and Jade on the other.
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.
