Origin vs Pale Olivine
Origin (Cloverdale Paint) and Pale Olivine (Dulux) come from different manufacturers. Origin reads as beige-yellow, while Pale Olivine reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 4-point LRV gap — 66 for Origin vs 62 for Pale Olivine — means Origin will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 5.0 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Origin vs Pale Olivine in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Origin and Pale Olivine 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.
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. Origin has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Origin has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The brightness difference is modest but present — Origin gives the walls a little more lift.

Origin vs Pale Olivine Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Origin on one side and Pale Olivine 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.
