Fresh Start vs Dancing Kite
Fresh Start is a Cloverdale Paint color while Dancing Kite comes from PPG. These are both yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within yellow to land. At LRV 64 vs 57, Fresh Start will read as the brighter of the two — a 7-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 4.0, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
