Pale Blossom vs Tallow
Where Pale Blossom belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Tallow is a Farrow & Ball color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Tallow (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Pale Blossom (LRV 80), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
