Goosewing vs Iron Grey

GoosewingDuluxvsIron GreyJotunΔE 3.9Noticeable difference

Where Goosewing belongs to Dulux's range, Iron Grey is a Jotun color. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Goosewing (LRV 42) reflects noticeably more light than Iron Grey (LRV 39), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean neutral, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 3.9 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.

Digital color is approximate.

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