Raw Clay vs Sylvan

Raw ClayCloverdale PaintvsSylvanPPGΔE 2.3Subtle difference

Raw Clay is a Cloverdale Paint color while Sylvan comes from PPG. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. At LRV 32 vs 29, Raw Clay will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. With a ΔE of 2.3, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. 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.

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