FondantBenjamin MoorevsJust WalnutDuluxΔE 7.6Noticeable difference

Fondant is a Benjamin Moore color while Just Walnut comes from Dulux. Fondant reads as beige, while Just Walnut reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 84 vs 72, Fondant will read as the brighter of the two — a 12-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Fondant's red character against Just Walnut's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 7.6, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
