CórdobaLittle GreenevsCloveSherwin-WilliamsΔE 5.0Noticeable difference

Córdoba is a Little Greene color while Clove comes from Sherwin-Williams. Córdoba reads as grey, while Clove reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 5 and 5, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Córdoba's red character against Clove's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 5.0, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Córdoba vs Clove in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. Córdoba and Clove 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.

Bedroom

Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

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.
