Heathland vs Rose Bark
Both from Dulux's palette. Heathland reads as blue, while Rose Bark reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Rose Bark (LRV 16) reflects noticeably more light than Heathland (LRV 4), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Heathland runs cool while Rose Bark is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 28.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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. 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.
