Mushroom vs Antique White
Mushroom (Cloverdale Paint) and Antique White (Jotun) come from different manufacturers. Mushroom reads as grey, while Antique White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 14-point LRV gap — 56 for Antique White vs 42 for Mushroom — means Antique White will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 9.8 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Mushroom vs Antique White in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Mushroom and Antique White 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
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Antique White reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Mushroom.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Antique White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The LRV gap is large enough that Antique White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Mushroom would.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Antique White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Mushroom vs Antique White Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Mushroom on one side and Antique White on the other.
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.
