Seagull Gray vs Chiltern White

Seagull GrayBehrvsChiltern WhiteDuluxΔE 1.7Subtle difference

Seagull Gray is a Behr color while Chiltern White comes from Dulux. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. At LRV 73 vs 69, Chiltern White will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Seagull Gray's yellow character against Chiltern White's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 1.7, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
