Almost Oyster vs Senses
Where Almost Oyster belongs to Dulux's range, Senses is a Jotun color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Almost Oyster (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Senses (LRV 41), a difference of 33 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 20.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
