Clear Skies vs Peppermint Candy

Clear SkiesDuluxvsPeppermint CandyDuluxΔE 2.3Subtle difference

Clear Skies and Peppermint Candy come from the same Dulux collection. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 75 for Clear Skies vs 72 for Peppermint Candy — means Clear Skies will open up a space more effectively. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 2.3 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Clear Skies vs Peppermint Candy in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. Clear Skies and Peppermint Candy 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.

Bathroom

Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Clear Skies has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

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.
