House
A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

Mulberry Burst vs Black grey Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Mulberry Burst on one side and Black grey on the other.
Digital color is approximate.
