Macchiato vs Pebble grey in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. Macchiato and Pebble grey 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.

Kitchen

Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The LRV gap is large enough that Macchiato will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Pebble grey would.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
