Dolphin Fin vs Just Walnut in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Dolphin Fin 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 Just Walnut will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Dolphin Fin would.
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. Just Walnut returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
