Ochre vs Buffalo Trail

OchreCloverdale PaintvsBuffalo TrailPPGΔE 3.6Noticeable difference

Where Ochre belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Buffalo Trail is a PPG color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Ochre (LRV 48) reflects noticeably more light than Buffalo Trail (LRV 44), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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.
