Flora vs Hardwick White in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Flora and Hardwick White 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.
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. Hardwick White reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Front Door
Front doors are seen in isolation against the rest of the facade, which makes them a high-stakes surface where even subtle differences matter. Hardwick White has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
