Regent Green vs Lamp Black in Real Spaces

4 real rooms side by side. Regent Green and Lamp Black 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

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. Regent Green has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

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. Regent Green reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Bathroom

Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The brightness difference is modest but present — Regent Green gives the walls a little more lift.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
