S 1502-Y vs Silver Band in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. S 1502-Y and Silver Band 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
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. S 1502-Y returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Dining Room
Dining room light is typically the warmest in the house, which shifts both colors toward the red end of the spectrum compared to daylight. S 1502-Y reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Silver Band.
House
At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. The LRV gap is large enough that S 1502-Y will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Silver Band would.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see S 1502-Y on one side and Silver Band 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.
