Dining Room

Dining room light is typically the warmest in the house, which shifts both colors toward the red end of the spectrum compared to daylight. Gravelstone reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Denim Drift.

Bathroom

Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Gravelstone will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Denim Drift would.

Digital color is approximate.
