Raspberry DivaDuluxvsThames FogValsparΔE 28.1Very different colors

Raspberry Diva (Dulux) and Thames Fog (Valspar) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Raspberry Diva belongs to the pink family and Thames Fog to the grey family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 26 vs 27 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. A ΔE of 28.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Bedroom

Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

Bathroom

Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

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.
