Stonington Gray vs Treron in Real Spaces

6 real rooms side by side. Seeing Stonington Gray and Treron 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

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