Denim Drift vs Pebble Drift 2
Both from Dulux's palette. Hue-wise, Denim Drift belongs to the blue-grey family and Pebble Drift 2 to the blue family. Pebble Drift 2 (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. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 5.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Denim Drift vs Pebble Drift 2 in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Denim Drift and Pebble Drift 2 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.
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. The brightness difference is modest but present — Pebble Drift 2 gives the walls a little more lift.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Pebble Drift 2 has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
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. Pebble Drift 2 reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Denim Drift vs Pebble Drift 2 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Denim Drift on one side and Pebble Drift 2 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.
