Cork vs Denim Drift

CorkBehrvsDenim DriftDuluxΔE 44.0Very different colors

Cork is a Behr color while Denim Drift comes from Dulux. Hue-wise, Cork belongs to the beige family and Denim Drift to the blue-grey family. At LRV 46 vs 27, Cork will read as the brighter of the two — a 19-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Cork's red character against Denim Drift's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 44.0, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
