Techile vs White aluminium
Where Techile belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, White aluminium is a RAL Classic color. Techile reads as grey, while White aluminium reads as grey-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. White aluminium (LRV 46) reflects noticeably more light than Techile (LRV 37), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 0.8, 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.
Techile vs White aluminium in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Techile and White aluminium 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 LRV gap is large enough that White aluminium will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Techile would.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. White aluminium reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Techile.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Techile on one side and White aluminium 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.
