Raffia vs Senses
Where Raffia belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Senses is a Jotun color. Raffia reads as beige, while Senses reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Raffia (LRV 58) reflects noticeably more light than Senses (LRV 41), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 12.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Raffia vs Senses in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Seeing Raffia and Senses 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
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 Raffia will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Senses 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. Raffia reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Senses.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Raffia reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Senses.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Raffia returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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.
