Vellum vs Denim Drift

VellumBenjamin MoorevsDenim DriftDuluxΔE 43.8Very different colors

Vellum (Benjamin Moore) and Denim Drift (Dulux) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Vellum belongs to the beige family and Denim Drift to the blue-grey family. The 36-point LRV gap — 63 for Vellum vs 27 for Denim Drift — means Vellum will open up a space more effectively. Where Vellum leans red, Denim Drift reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 43.8 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.

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.
