Fresh Cream vs Lemon Drop

Fresh CreamCloverdale PaintvsLemon DropSherwin-WilliamsΔE 0.8Imperceptible difference

Where Fresh Cream belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Lemon Drop is a Sherwin-Williams color. Fresh Cream reads as beige-yellow, while Lemon Drop reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Fresh Cream (LRV 90) reflects noticeably more light than Lemon Drop (LRV 87), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 0.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

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