True Grey vs Granite

True GreyCloverdale PaintvsGraniteTikkurilaΔE 3.5Noticeable difference

True Grey is a Cloverdale Paint color while Granite comes from Tikkurila. True Grey reads as blue-grey, while Granite reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 41 vs 38, True Grey will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 3.5, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
