Sea Smoke vs Tranquil Dawn
Where Sea Smoke belongs to Tikkurila's range, Tranquil Dawn is a Dulux color. Sea Smoke (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than Tranquil Dawn (LRV 55), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
Sea Smoke vs Tranquil Dawn Color Comparison
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.

Sea Smoke vs Tranquil Dawn in Real Spaces
Sea Smoke and Tranquil Dawn are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone. These real-room photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions. Showing 3 room types where both colors have photos.
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 Sea Smoke will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Tranquil Dawn 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. Sea Smoke reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Tranquil Dawn.

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