Broccoflower vs Haven in Real Spaces

5 real rooms side by side. Broccoflower and Haven 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

A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Haven reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Broccoflower.

Kitchen

Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Haven 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 rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The LRV gap is large enough that Haven will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Broccoflower would.
