Tundra vs Down
Tundra (Cloverdale Paint) and Down (Little Greene) come from different manufacturers. Tundra reads as beige-greige, while Down reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 79 vs 80 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. A ΔE of 1.2 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Tundra vs Down Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Tundra on one side and Down 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.
