Upon Reflection vs Sweet Sparrow

Where Upon Reflection belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Sweet Sparrow is a PPG color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Upon Reflection (LRV 34) reflects noticeably more light than Sweet Sparrow (LRV 30), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.4, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
