Atmosphere vs Slaked Lime Deep
Where Atmosphere belongs to Dulux's range, Slaked Lime Deep is a Little Greene color. Atmosphere reads as blue, while Slaked Lime Deep reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Atmosphere has an LRV of 83. Atmosphere runs cool while Slaked Lime Deep is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 19.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Atmosphere vs Slaked Lime Deep in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Seeing Atmosphere and Slaked Lime Deep in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
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. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. The distinction reads clearly at room scale, making the choice between them concrete.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. The distinction reads clearly at room scale, making the choice between them concrete.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. The distinction reads clearly at room scale, making the choice between them concrete.

Atmosphere vs Slaked Lime Deep Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Atmosphere on one side and Slaked Lime Deep on the other.
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.
