Pewter vs Sea Grove

PewterCloverdale PaintvsSea GroveValsparΔE 1.0Imperceptible difference

Where Pewter belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Sea Grove is a Valspar color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (16 vs 15), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 1.0, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Pewter vs Sea Grove in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. Pewter and Sea Grove 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.

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. At this scale the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side, as shown here, to reliably tell them apart.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
