Banana Split vs Nervy Hue
Banana Split (Dulux) and Nervy Hue (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Banana Split reads as beige, while Nervy Hue reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 14-point LRV gap — 70 for Banana Split vs 56 for Nervy Hue — means Banana Split will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 15.3 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.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Banana Split on one side and Nervy Hue 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.
