Sonic Silver vs Obsidian Green in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Sonic Silver and Obsidian Green in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
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. Sonic Silver reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Obsidian Green.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Sonic Silver returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
