Light grey vs Just Walnut Color Comparison
Digital color is approximate.

Light grey vs Just Walnut in Real Spaces
Light grey and Just Walnut are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone. These real-room photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions. Showing 2 room types where both colors have photos.

Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Just Walnut returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
