Evermore vs Raisin Cake
Evermore (Cloverdale Paint) and Raisin Cake (Dulux) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 4-point LRV gap — 11 for Raisin Cake vs 7 for Evermore — means Raisin Cake will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 2.6 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Evermore vs Raisin Cake in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Evermore and Raisin Cake 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.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Raisin Cake reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The brightness difference is modest but present — Raisin Cake gives the walls a little more lift.
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. Raisin Cake has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Evermore vs Raisin Cake Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Evermore on one side and Raisin Cake on the other.
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.
