Classic Silver vs Dolphin Fin in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Classic Silver and Dolphin Fin 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
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Dolphin Fin reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Classic Silver.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The LRV gap is large enough that Dolphin Fin will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Classic Silver would.
