Deep Space vs Denim Drift

Deep SpaceBenjamin MoorevsDenim DriftDuluxΔE 21.8Distinct difference

Deep Space is a Benjamin Moore color while Denim Drift comes from Dulux. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. At LRV 27 vs 11, Denim Drift will read as the brighter of the two — a 16-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Deep Space's blue character against Denim Drift's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 21.8, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Deep Space vs Denim Drift in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Seeing Deep Space and Denim Drift in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.

Living Room

Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Denim Drift returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Bedroom

Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Denim Drift will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Deep Space would.

Bathroom

Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Denim Drift will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Deep Space would.

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.
