White Mist vs Just Walnut
Both from Dulux's palette. White Mist reads as greige-white, while Just Walnut reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. White Mist (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Just Walnut (LRV 72), a difference of 10 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 5.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
White Mist vs Just Walnut in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. White Mist and Just Walnut 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. The LRV gap is large enough that White Mist will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Just Walnut would.

Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. White Mist reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Just Walnut.

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. White Mist returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. White Mist reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Just Walnut.

White Mist vs Just Walnut Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see White Mist on one side and Just Walnut on the other.
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.
