Mushroom Fields vs Baluster
Where Mushroom Fields belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Baluster is a Little Greene color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Baluster (LRV 23) reflects noticeably more light than Mushroom Fields (LRV 20), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Mushroom Fields vs Baluster in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Mushroom Fields and Baluster 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. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

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.
