Lemongrass vs Spring Air

LemongrassCloverdale PaintvsSpring AirJotunΔE 2.8Subtle difference

Where Lemongrass belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Spring Air is a Jotun color. Both sit in the beige-yellow family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Spring Air (LRV 59) reflects noticeably more light than Lemongrass (LRV 56), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Lemongrass vs Spring Air in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Lemongrass and Spring Air 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 brightness difference is modest but present — Spring Air gives the walls a little more lift.

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. Spring Air reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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.
