Forget-Me-Not vs Ice Cube in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Forget-Me-Not and Ice Cube 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. Ice Cube reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Forget-Me-Not.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Ice Cube returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
