Just Walnut vs Aquatint
Just Walnut (Dulux) and Aquatint (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Just Walnut belongs to the beige-greige family and Aquatint to the blue family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 72 vs 73 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Just Walnut leans warm, Aquatint reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 18.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
