Rain SlickerCloverdale PaintvsPollinationPPGΔE 13.7Distinct difference

Where Rain Slicker belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Pollination is a PPG color. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. Rain Slicker (LRV 41) reflects noticeably more light than Pollination (LRV 32), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 13.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate.

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