Soft Silver vs Just Walnut

Soft SilverCloverdale PaintvsJust WalnutDuluxΔE 5.9Noticeable difference

Where Soft Silver belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Just Walnut is a Dulux color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Just Walnut (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Soft Silver (LRV 67), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Soft Silver vs Just Walnut in Real Spaces

5 real rooms side by side. Soft Silver and Just Walnut 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 — Just Walnut 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. Just Walnut reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Dining Room

A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Just Walnut has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Bathroom
