Grilled Cheese vs Banana Split
Where Grilled Cheese belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Banana Split is a Dulux color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Banana Split (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Grilled Cheese (LRV 64), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 8.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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 brightness difference is modest but present — Banana Split gives the walls a little more lift.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Banana Split reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
