Chameleon vs Tranquil Dawn

ChameleonBenjamin MoorevsTranquil DawnDuluxΔE 17.2Distinct difference

Where Chameleon belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Tranquil Dawn is a Dulux color. Chameleon reads as beige-yellow, while Tranquil Dawn reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Chameleon (LRV 71) reflects noticeably more light than Tranquil Dawn (LRV 55), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Chameleon runs yellow while Tranquil Dawn is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 17.2, 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.

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.
