Narrow Lane vs Thimble Case

Narrow LaneDuluxvsThimble CaseDuluxΔE 15.4 — Distinct difference

Both from Dulux's palette. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. Thimble Case (LRV 68) reflects noticeably more light than Narrow Lane (LRV 41), a difference of 27 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. With a ΔE of 15.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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. 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.
