Praline Melt vs Raisin Cake

Praline MeltDuluxvsRaisin CakeDuluxΔE 18.4Distinct difference

Both are Dulux colors. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. At LRV 22 vs 11, Praline Melt will read as the brighter of the two — a 11-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a neutral quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 18.4, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
