Graceful Green vs Tranquil Dawn
Both from Dulux's palette. Both sit in the green-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Graceful Green (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Tranquil Dawn (LRV 55), a difference of 15 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. At ΔE 1.7, 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.
Graceful Green vs Tranquil Dawn in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Graceful Green and Tranquil Dawn 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 Graceful Green will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Tranquil Dawn 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. Graceful Green reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Tranquil Dawn.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Graceful Green reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Tranquil Dawn.

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.
