The 48-point LRV gap — 76 for Weston Flax vs 28 for Poolside — means Weston Flax will open up a space more effectively. Where Poolside leans blue, Weston Flax reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
