Sandstone Palette vs Sandstone
Sandstone Palette is a Cloverdale Paint color while Sandstone comes from Dulux. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. With LRVs of 61 and 60, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 1.5, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Sandstone Palette vs Sandstone in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Sandstone Palette and Sandstone are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. In photos like these you're seeing the difference at its most direct. In a finished room, the distinction is there but not dramatic.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The two are close enough that the choice comes down to finer qualities — undertone, texture, what the color sits next to.

Digital color is approximate.
