Marshy Habitat vs Shadow Taupe
Where Marshy Habitat belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Shadow Taupe is a PPG color. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. Marshy Habitat (LRV 45) reflects noticeably more light than Shadow Taupe (LRV 40), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.0, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
