Matt Silver vs Cloak

Matt SilverJotunvsCloakTikkurilaΔE 4.1Noticeable difference

Matt Silver is a Jotun color while Cloak comes from Tikkurila. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. At LRV 24 vs 20, Matt Silver will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 4.1, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. 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.
