Natural Muslin vs Sand Fossil

Natural MuslinCloverdale PaintvsSand FossilPPGΔE 1.2Subtle difference

Natural Muslin (Cloverdale Paint) and Sand Fossil (PPG) come from different manufacturers. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 65 for Natural Muslin vs 62 for Sand Fossil — means Natural Muslin will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 1.2 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. 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. 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.
