Shark FinCloverdale PaintvsIron GreyJotunΔE 0.9Imperceptible difference

Shark Fin is a Cloverdale Paint color while Iron Grey comes from Jotun. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. With LRVs of 38 and 39, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 0.9, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.

Digital color is approximate.

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