Timeless vs Roman Plaster

TimelessDuluxvsRoman PlasterLittle GreeneΔE 25.7Very different colors

Timeless is a Dulux color while Roman Plaster comes from Little Greene. Hue-wise, Timeless belongs to the beige-yellow family and Roman Plaster to the beige-greige family. At LRV 87 vs 44, Timeless will read as the brighter of the two — a 43-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Timeless's warm character against Roman Plaster's red — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 25.7, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Bedroom

Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Timeless will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Roman Plaster would.

Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Timeless will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Roman Plaster would.

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.
