Waxed KhakiDuluxvsEvening GreenJotunΔE 4.3Noticeable difference

Where Waxed Khaki belongs to Dulux's range, Evening Green is a Jotun color. Hue-wise, Waxed Khaki belongs to the grey family and Evening Green to the green-grey family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (24 vs 24), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Both lean neutral, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 4.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Waxed Khaki vs Evening Green in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Waxed Khaki and Evening Green are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

Living Room

In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

Bedroom

The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. The distinction reads clearly at room scale, making the choice between them concrete.

Dining Room

A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. 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.
