Urban Walk vs Messenger Bag

Urban WalkDuluxvsMessenger BagSherwin-WilliamsΔE 8.1Noticeable difference

Where Urban Walk belongs to Dulux's range, Messenger Bag is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Urban Walk (LRV 25) reflects noticeably more light than Messenger Bag (LRV 18), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 8.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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.
