Lavender Scent vs Gravity
Where Lavender Scent belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Gravity is a Valspar color. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Lavender Scent (LRV 68) reflects noticeably more light than Gravity (LRV 56), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 7.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Lavender Scent vs Gravity in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Lavender Scent and Gravity 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
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 LRV gap is large enough that Lavender Scent will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Gravity would.
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 Gravity.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Lavender Scent reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Gravity.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Lavender Scent reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Gravity.

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.
