Polar Sky vs Just Walnut
Polar Sky is a Benjamin Moore color while Just Walnut comes from Dulux. Polar Sky reads as blue, while Just Walnut reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 72 vs 69, Just Walnut will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Polar Sky's blue character against Just Walnut's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 9.9, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Polar Sky vs Just Walnut in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Polar Sky and Just Walnut are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The brightness difference is modest but present — Just Walnut gives the walls a little more lift.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Polar Sky on one side and Just Walnut on the other.
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.
