Golden Ivory vs Velvet

Golden IvoryDuluxvsVelvetJotunΔE 6.2Noticeable difference

Where Golden Ivory belongs to Dulux's range, Velvet is a Jotun color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Golden Ivory (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than Velvet (LRV 52), a difference of 11 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 6.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Golden Ivory vs Velvet in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. Golden Ivory and Velvet 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 Golden Ivory will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Velvet would.

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.
