Whiteboard vs Cement grey in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Seeing Whiteboard and Cement grey in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
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 Whiteboard will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Cement grey 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. Whiteboard reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Cement grey.
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. Whiteboard reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Cement grey.
