The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Daffodil White reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Antique White.

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.
