Wild Wonder vs Refined Yellow
Where Wild Wonder belongs to Dulux's range, Refined Yellow is a Jotun color. Wild Wonder reads as beige, while Refined Yellow reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Wild Wonder (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than Refined Yellow (LRV 44), a difference of 5 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. At ΔE 2.0, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Wild Wonder vs Refined Yellow in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Wild Wonder and Refined Yellow 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 brightness difference is modest but present — Wild Wonder gives the walls a little more lift.
Home Office
The test for a home office color isn't how it looks in a quick glance — it's whether it still feels right after a full day of work. Wild Wonder reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
