Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Fig vs Raisin Cake in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Fig and Raisin Cake 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. Raisin Cake 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. Raisin Cake 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 — Raisin Cake gives the walls a little more lift.

Fig vs Raisin Cake Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Fig on one side and Raisin Cake on the other.
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.
