Heathland vs Just Walnut
Heathland and Just Walnut come from the same Dulux collection. Heathland reads as blue, while Just Walnut reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 68-point LRV gap — 72 for Just Walnut vs 4 for Heathland — means Just Walnut will open up a space more effectively. Where Heathland leans cool, Just Walnut reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 65.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Heathland vs Just Walnut in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Seeing Heathland and Just Walnut in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Just Walnut reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Heathland.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Just Walnut returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The LRV gap is large enough that Just Walnut will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Heathland 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.
