Flour vs Mink Frost

FlourCloverdale PaintvsMink FrostValsparΔE 6.0Noticeable difference

Where Flour belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Mink Frost is a Valspar color. Flour reads as white, while Mink Frost reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Flour (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Mink Frost (LRV 70), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Flour vs Mink Frost in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. Flour and Mink Frost 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

In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Flour will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Mink Frost 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.
