Ashwood vs Just Walnut
Where Ashwood belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Just Walnut is a Dulux color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Just Walnut (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Ashwood (LRV 67), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Ashwood runs yellow while Just Walnut is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
