Liliana vs Whirlybird in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Liliana and Whirlybird 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
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Liliana will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Whirlybird would.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Liliana reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Whirlybird.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Liliana reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Whirlybird.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Liliana reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Whirlybird.
