Jojoba vs Tranquil Dawn

JojobaBehrvsTranquil DawnDuluxΔE NaNVery different colors

Where Jojoba belongs to Behr's range, Tranquil Dawn is a Dulux color. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. Tranquil Dawn (LRV 55) reflects noticeably more light than Jojoba (LRV 47), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Jojoba runs green while Tranquil Dawn is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of NaN, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
