BadlandsBenjamin MoorevsTranquil DawnDuluxΔE 40.1Very different colors

Where Badlands belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Tranquil Dawn is a Dulux color. Badlands reads as pink-red, while Tranquil Dawn reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Tranquil Dawn (LRV 55) reflects noticeably more light than Badlands (LRV 25), a difference of 30 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Badlands runs red while Tranquil Dawn is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 40.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
