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.

Raspberry red vs Obsidian Green in Real Spaces

Seeing Raspberry red and Obsidian Green in actual rooms makes the difference concrete. Browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall. Showing 1 room type where both colors have photos.

Kitchen

Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Raspberry red returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
