Javan Dawn 1 vs Teal Tension

Javan Dawn 1DuluxvsTeal TensionDuluxΔE 28.1Very different colors

Both are Dulux colors. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. At LRV 36 vs 12, Javan Dawn 1 will read as the brighter of the two — a 24-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a cool quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 28.1, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
