Every room, each colorThe difference
Read from the numbersCedar Grove is the lighter of the two at LRV 46.34, 5.3 points above Little Falls at LRV 41.07. Both read cool. Little Falls is a blues, Cedar Grove a greens. For a whole room, Cedar Grove is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Little Falls is the bolder pick.
How they read
In their own wordsLittle Falls is a mid-tone, grey-softened blue with the ease of well-worn denim. At LRV 41 it holds its color in daylight without ever becoming bright, and its grey base keeps it from reading as nursery blue. It is calm without being cold.
Cedar Grove is a mid-light sage — green enough to be clearly a color from across the room, grey enough never to look minty. At LRV 46 it sits in the sweet spot for a full-room green: it holds its tone in daylight and softens rather than muddies as the light fades.
