Constructed Steel vs Warm Truffle

Constructed SteelDuluxvsWarm TruffleDuluxΔE 7.2 — Noticeable difference

Both from Dulux's palette. Hue-wise, Constructed Steel belongs to the grey family and Warm Truffle to the greige-grey family. Warm Truffle (LRV 46) reflects noticeably more light than Constructed Steel (LRV 36), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Constructed Steel runs neutral while Warm Truffle is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
