Rock Salt vs Treron in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Seeing Rock Salt and Treron in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.

Kitchen

Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Rock Salt returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
