Polished Marble vs Gaia

Polished MarbleCloverdale PaintvsGaiaPPGΔE 1.1Subtle difference

Polished Marble (Cloverdale Paint) and Gaia (PPG) come from different manufacturers. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 54 for Polished Marble vs 51 for Gaia — means Polished Marble will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 1.1 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. 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. 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.
