Sugar Dust vs Cheviot
Where Sugar Dust belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Cheviot is a Sherwin-Williams color. Hue-wise, Sugar Dust belongs to the beige-yellow family and Cheviot to the beige family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (90 vs 89), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 0.6, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Sugar Dust vs Cheviot in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Sugar Dust and Cheviot 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
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The two are close enough that the choice comes down to finer qualities — undertone, texture, what the color sits next to.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. At this scale the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side, as shown here, to reliably tell them apart.

Sugar Dust vs Cheviot Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Sugar Dust on one side and Cheviot 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.
