Ivory vs Antique White

IvoryDuluxvsAntique WhiteJotunΔE 9.6Noticeable difference

Ivory (Dulux) and Antique White (Jotun) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Ivory belongs to the beige family and Antique White to the beige-greige family. The 13-point LRV gap — 69 for Ivory vs 56 for Antique White — means Ivory will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 9.6 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Ivory vs Antique White in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Ivory and Antique White 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

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. Ivory reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Antique White.

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. Ivory returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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.
