Potters Clay 2 vs Silver Moon
Where Potters Clay 2 belongs to Dulux's range, Silver Moon is a Jotun color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (54 vs 52), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Both lean neutral, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 3.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Potters Clay 2 vs Silver Moon in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Potters Clay 2 and Silver Moon 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. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. The distinction reads clearly at room scale, making the choice between them concrete.
