Vanilla SundaeDuluxvsFresh PastaJotunΔE 9.1Noticeable difference

Where Vanilla Sundae belongs to Dulux's range, Fresh Pasta is a Jotun color. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Vanilla Sundae (LRV 85) reflects noticeably more light than Fresh Pasta (LRV 70), a difference of 15 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 9.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Digital color is approximate.

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