Fine Cream vs Just Walnut
Both from Dulux's palette. Hue-wise, Fine Cream belongs to the beige-yellow family and Just Walnut to the beige-greige family. Fine Cream (LRV 90) reflects noticeably more light than Just Walnut (LRV 72), a difference of 18 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. The ΔE 9.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Fine Cream vs Just Walnut in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Fine Cream and Just Walnut 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 LRV gap is large enough that Fine Cream will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Just Walnut would.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Fine Cream reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Just Walnut.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Fine Cream reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Just Walnut.
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. Fine Cream returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Digital color is approximate.
