Tundra vs Mink Frost
Tundra (Cloverdale Paint) and Mink Frost (Valspar) come from different manufacturers. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. The 8-point LRV gap — 79 for Tundra vs 70 for Mink Frost — means Tundra will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 4.3 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Tundra vs Mink Frost in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Tundra and Mink Frost 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
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Tundra reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Mink Frost.

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