Full Moon vs Pigeon
Full Moon (Cloverdale Paint) and Pigeon (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Full Moon reads as beige-greige, while Pigeon reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 32-point LRV gap — 83 for Full Moon vs 51 for Pigeon — means Full Moon will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 27.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Full Moon vs Pigeon in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Seeing Full Moon and Pigeon in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
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. Full Moon reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Pigeon.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Full Moon returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
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. Full Moon returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Full Moon vs Pigeon Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Full Moon on one side and Pigeon 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.
