Hideaway vs Naval
Hideaway (Cloverdale Paint) and Naval (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hideaway reads as beige-pink, while Naval reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 6-point LRV gap — 10 for Hideaway vs 4 for Naval — means Hideaway will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 26.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Hideaway vs Naval in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Seeing Hideaway 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
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Hideaway reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Hideaway has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Hideaway has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The brightness difference is modest but present — Hideaway gives the walls a little more lift.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Hideaway has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Hideaway vs Naval Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Hideaway on one side and Naval on the other.
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.
