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

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. Weathered Cedar reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Denim Drift.
