KasbahBenjamin MoorevsTranquil DawnDuluxΔE 32.9Very different colors

Where Kasbah belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Tranquil Dawn is a Dulux color. Kasbah reads as grey, while Tranquil Dawn reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Tranquil Dawn (LRV 55) reflects noticeably more light than Kasbah (LRV 17), a difference of 38 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Kasbah 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 32.9, the contrast is hard to miss.

Digital color is approximate.

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