Just Walnut vs Antimony
Where Just Walnut belongs to Dulux's range, Antimony is a Sherwin-Williams color. Just Walnut reads as beige-greige, while Antimony reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Just Walnut (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Antimony (LRV 57), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Just Walnut runs warm while Antimony is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Just Walnut vs Antimony in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Just Walnut and Antimony 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
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Just Walnut will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Antimony would.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Just Walnut reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Antimony.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Just Walnut reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Antimony.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Just Walnut returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Just Walnut reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Antimony.

Digital color is approximate.
