Perfectly Taupe vs Dash of Soot
Perfectly Taupe (Dulux) and Dash of Soot (Little Greene) come from different manufacturers. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 54 vs 54 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Perfectly Taupe leans warm, Dash of Soot reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 1.6 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.
