Annapolis Gray vs Piazza in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Annapolis Gray and Piazza 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. Piazza reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Annapolis Gray.

Bedroom

Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Piazza returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
