Egret White vs Lakeside in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Egret White and Lakeside in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
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. Egret White reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Lakeside.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Egret White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
