Egyptian Cotton vs Space

Egyptian CottonDuluxvsSpaceJotunΔE 2.0Subtle difference

Where Egyptian Cotton belongs to Dulux's range, Space is a Jotun color. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Egyptian Cotton (LRV 66) reflects noticeably more light than Space (LRV 62), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 2.0, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Egyptian Cotton vs Space in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Egyptian Cotton and Space 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 — Egyptian Cotton gives the walls a little more lift.

Bedroom

The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Egyptian Cotton reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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. Egyptian Cotton has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

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.
