Antique White vs Evening Sky
Both from Jotun's palette. Hue-wise, Antique White belongs to the beige-greige family and Evening Sky to the grey family. Antique White (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Evening Sky (LRV 22), a difference of 34 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Antique White runs warm while Evening Sky is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 26.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Antique White vs Evening Sky in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Seeing Antique White and Evening Sky 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 Antique White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Evening Sky would.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Antique White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. Antique White reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Evening Sky.
