Smoke Grey vs Feldspar
Smoke Grey is a Dulux color while Feldspar comes from PPG. Both sit in the blue-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 30 vs 27, Smoke Grey will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 3.1, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Smoke Grey vs Feldspar in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Smoke Grey and Feldspar 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
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Smoke Grey has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The brightness difference is modest but present — Smoke Grey gives the walls a little more lift.

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.
