Witching Hour vs Pale Green in Real Spaces

4 real rooms side by side. Seeing Witching Hour and Pale Green in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.

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