Lucerne vs May Apple

LucerneCloverdale PaintvsMay ApplePPGΔE 13.2Distinct difference

Lucerne (Cloverdale Paint) and May Apple (PPG) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the green family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 13-point LRV gap — 55 for May Apple vs 42 for Lucerne — means May Apple will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 13.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

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