In Good TasteCloverdale PaintvsSilver greyRAL ClassicΔE 3.6Noticeable difference

At ΔE 3.6, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

In Good Taste vs Silver grey in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. In Good Taste and Silver grey are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

Living Room

Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
