Lavender Scent vs Calluna
Where Lavender Scent belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Calluna is a Farrow & Ball color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Lavender Scent (LRV 68) reflects noticeably more light than Calluna (LRV 57), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Lavender Scent reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Calluna.
