Just Walnut vs Quiet Hideaway
Both from Dulux's palette. Just Walnut reads as beige-greige, while Quiet Hideaway reads as greige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Quiet Hideaway (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Just Walnut (LRV 72), a difference of 9 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. The ΔE 4.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
