Heart Wood vs Slate Lavender
Where Heart Wood belongs to Dulux's range, Slate Lavender is a Jotun color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Heart Wood (LRV 28) reflects noticeably more light than Slate Lavender (LRV 25), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Heart Wood runs warm while Slate Lavender is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
