Deer Granite vs Just Walnut
Deer Granite (Benjamin Moore) and Just Walnut (Dulux) come from different manufacturers. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. The 44-point LRV gap — 72 for Just Walnut vs 28 for Deer Granite — means Just Walnut will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 29.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
