Pigeon vs Peregrine in Real Spaces
6 real rooms side by side. Seeing Pigeon and Peregrine 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 Peregrine will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Pigeon 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. Peregrine reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Pigeon.
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. Peregrine reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Pigeon.
Mudroom
Mudrooms are seen in passing, often under whatever light comes through the door — a context that favors colors with some depth. Peregrine returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
House
Seen across an entire facade, subtle tonal differences become pronounced. What reads as nearly the same on a chip often reads as clearly different at scale. Peregrine reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Pigeon.

Pigeon vs Peregrine Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Pigeon on one side and Peregrine on the other.
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.
