Pale Taupe vs White Linen
Where Pale Taupe belongs to Dulux's range, White Linen is a Jotun color. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. Pale Taupe (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than White Linen (LRV 59), a difference of 4 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. At ΔE 1.6, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
