Soft Apple vs Crocodile Dreams
Where Soft Apple belongs to Dulux's range, Crocodile Dreams is a Valspar color. Soft Apple reads as yellow, while Crocodile Dreams reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Soft Apple (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Crocodile Dreams (LRV 68), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 7.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
