Sea HazeBenjamin MoorevsJust WalnutDuluxΔE 14.7Distinct difference

Where Sea Haze belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Just Walnut is a Dulux color. Sea Haze reads as grey, while Just Walnut reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Just Walnut (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Sea Haze (LRV 45), a difference of 27 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sea Haze runs yellow while Just Walnut is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 14.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
