Pebbles vs Pigeon
Where Pebbles belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Pigeon is a Farrow & Ball color. Pebbles reads as greige-grey, while Pigeon reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pigeon (LRV 51) reflects noticeably more light than Pebbles (LRV 37), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Pebbles vs Pigeon in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Pebbles and Pigeon 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
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Pigeon will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Pebbles would.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Pigeon reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Pebbles.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Pigeon reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Pebbles.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Pebbles on one side and Pigeon 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.
