Silver SageBenjamin MoorevsJust WalnutDuluxΔE 7.1Noticeable difference

Where Silver Sage belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Just Walnut is a Dulux color. Hue-wise, Silver Sage belongs to the yellow family and Just Walnut to the beige-greige family. Just Walnut (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Silver Sage (LRV 63), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light.

The ΔE 7.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
