Golden IvoryDuluxvsWild Water 2DuluxΔE 59.6Very different colors

Both are Dulux colors. Golden Ivory reads as beige, while Wild Water 2 reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 63 vs 18, Golden Ivory will read as the brighter of the two — a 45-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Golden Ivory's warm character against Wild Water 2's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 59.6, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
