Dusted Moss 1DuluxvsPurbeck StoneFarrow & BallΔE 14.0Distinct difference

Dusted Moss 1 is a Dulux color while Purbeck Stone comes from Farrow & Ball. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. At LRV 52 vs 33, Purbeck Stone will read as the brighter of the two — a 19-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a warm quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 14.0, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Bathroom

Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Purbeck Stone will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Dusted Moss 1 would.
