The 75-point LRV gap — 89 for Cheviot vs 14 for Mountain Pass — means Cheviot will open up a space more effectively. Where Cheviot leans warm, Mountain Pass reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 52.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
