Golden Day vs Timber Beam

Golden DayCloverdale PaintvsTimber BeamPPGΔE 2.1Subtle difference

Golden Day (Cloverdale Paint) and Timber Beam (PPG) come from different manufacturers. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 27 for Golden Day vs 24 for Timber Beam — means Golden Day will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 2.1 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a 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. 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.
