White Bud vs Orchid Whisper
White Bud (Cloverdale Paint) and Orchid Whisper (PPG) come from different manufacturers. White Bud reads as white, while Orchid Whisper reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 75 vs 75 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. A ΔE of 1.5 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.
