Hunt Club vs Paper in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Hunt Club and Paper 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. Paper reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Hunt Club.
House
A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. Paper returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
