Rosepine vs Waxed Khaki
Where Rosepine belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Waxed Khaki is a Dulux color. Hue-wise, Rosepine belongs to the green-grey family and Waxed Khaki to the grey family. Waxed Khaki (LRV 24) reflects noticeably more light than Rosepine (LRV 21), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Rosepine runs green while Waxed Khaki is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Rosepine vs Waxed Khaki in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Rosepine and Waxed Khaki 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.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Waxed Khaki gives the walls a little more lift.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Waxed Khaki reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Waxed Khaki reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. Waxed Khaki reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Rosepine on one side and Waxed Khaki 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.
