Honey Nut vs Ivory paint color comparison

Honey Nut vs Ivory

Honey NutDuluxvsIvoryDuluxΔE 19.3 — Distinct difference

Both from Dulux's palette. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Ivory (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Honey Nut (LRV 53), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 19.3, 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.
