Denim Drift vs Serious Gray
Denim Drift is a Dulux color while Serious Gray comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. At LRV 27 vs 23, Denim Drift will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Denim Drift's cool character against Serious Gray's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 4.6, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
