Vintage White vs Artichoke

Vintage WhiteCloverdale PaintvsArtichokeSherwin-WilliamsΔE 36.6Very different colors

Vintage White (Cloverdale Paint) and Artichoke (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Vintage White reads as beige-greige, while Artichoke reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 52-point LRV gap — 73 for Vintage White vs 21 for Artichoke — means Vintage White will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 36.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Vintage White vs Artichoke in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Seeing Vintage White and Artichoke in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.

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. Vintage White reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Artichoke.

Bedroom

Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Vintage White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
