7 real rooms side by side. Seeing Hollingsworth Green and Saybrook Sage 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
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Hollingsworth Green returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bedroom

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. Hollingsworth Green reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Saybrook Sage.
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 Hollingsworth Green will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Saybrook Sage would.
Mudroom

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. Hollingsworth Green returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
