Fresh Take vs Naval
Where Fresh Take belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Naval is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Fresh Take (LRV 13) reflects noticeably more light than Naval (LRV 4), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 26.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Fresh Take vs Naval in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Seeing Fresh Take and Naval in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
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 Fresh Take will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Naval would.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Fresh Take reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Naval.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Fresh Take reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Naval.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Fresh Take returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Fresh Take reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Naval.

Digital color is approximate.
