Power Lunch vs Duck Green
Power Lunch (Cloverdale Paint) and Duck Green (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Power Lunch reads as greige-grey, while Duck Green reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 57-point LRV gap — 65 for Power Lunch vs 8 for Duck Green — means Power Lunch will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 50.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Power Lunch vs Duck Green in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Seeing Power Lunch and Duck Green in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Power Lunch reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Duck Green.
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. Power Lunch returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Power Lunch returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The LRV gap is large enough that Power Lunch will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Duck Green would.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Power Lunch returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Power Lunch vs Duck Green Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Power Lunch on one side and Duck Green 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.
