Denim Drift vs Natural Slate
Both from Dulux's palette. Denim Drift reads as blue-grey, while Natural Slate reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Natural Slate (LRV 31) reflects noticeably more light than Denim Drift (LRV 27), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Denim Drift runs cool while Natural Slate is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
