Cream Soda vs Nutmeg Cluster 3

Cream SodaBenjamin MoorevsNutmeg Cluster 3DuluxΔE 7.8Noticeable difference

Where Cream Soda belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Nutmeg Cluster 3 is a Dulux color. Cream Soda reads as beige, while Nutmeg Cluster 3 reads as beige-pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Nutmeg Cluster 3 (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than Cream Soda (LRV 45), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cream Soda runs red while Nutmeg Cluster 3 is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
