Daffodil WhiteDuluxvsCleanroom whiteRAL ClassicΔE 7.4Noticeable difference

These are both beige-whites, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-white to land. The 4-point LRV gap — 89 for Cleanroom white vs 85 for Daffodil White — means Cleanroom white will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 7.4 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.

Daffodil White vs Cleanroom white in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. Daffodil White and Cleanroom white 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.

Bathroom

Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Cleanroom white has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

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.
