Mud Bath vs Cement grey in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Mud Bath and Cement grey 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 Cement grey will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Mud Bath 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. Cement grey reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Mud Bath.
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. Cement grey reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Mud Bath.
