Sweet Butter vs Just Walnut

Sweet ButterBenjamin MoorevsJust WalnutDuluxΔE 36.0Very different colors

Sweet Butter (Benjamin Moore) and Just Walnut (Dulux) come from different manufacturers. Sweet Butter reads as beige, while Just Walnut reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 70 vs 72 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Sweet Butter leans red, Just Walnut reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 36.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
