Tuscan Glade 1 vs Duck Green in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Tuscan Glade 1 and Duck Green are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Tuscan Glade 1 reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Tuscan Glade 1 has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Home Office
Home office walls matter more than most — you're looking at them all day, and a color that reads fine at first can become tiring over time. Tuscan Glade 1 has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
