Silver Glass vs Duck Green
Silver Glass (Cloverdale Paint) and Duck Green (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the green-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 46-point LRV gap — 55 for Silver Glass vs 8 for Duck Green — means Silver Glass will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 45.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Silver Glass vs Duck Green in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Seeing Silver Glass and Duck Green 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
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Silver Glass reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Duck Green.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Silver Glass returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Silver Glass returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The LRV gap is large enough that Silver Glass will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Duck Green would.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Silver Glass returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Silver Glass vs Duck Green Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Silver Glass on one side and Duck Green on the other.
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.
