Concord Ivory vs Tranquil Dawn

Concord IvoryBenjamin MoorevsTranquil DawnDuluxΔE 31.6Very different colors

Where Concord Ivory belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Tranquil Dawn is a Dulux color. Concord Ivory reads as beige, while Tranquil Dawn reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Concord Ivory (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Tranquil Dawn (LRV 55), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Concord Ivory 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 31.6, 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 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Dining Room

A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Concord Ivory has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Bathroom

Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Concord Ivory reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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.
