Slipstream vs Purbeck Stone
Slipstream is a Cloverdale Paint color while Purbeck Stone comes from Farrow & Ball. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. At LRV 70 vs 52, Slipstream will read as the brighter of the two — a 19-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 10.2, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Slipstream vs Purbeck Stone in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Seeing Slipstream and Purbeck Stone 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
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. Slipstream returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Slipstream will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Purbeck Stone would.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The LRV gap is large enough that Slipstream will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Purbeck Stone would.
Dining Room
Dining room light is typically the warmest in the house, which shifts both colors toward the red end of the spectrum compared to daylight. Slipstream reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Purbeck Stone.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Slipstream will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Purbeck Stone would.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Slipstream on one side and Purbeck Stone 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.
