Rainwashed vs Silvermist in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Rainwashed and Silvermist 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
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Rainwashed returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Rainwashed will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Silvermist would.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Rainwashed will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Silvermist would.
Front Door
Front doors are seen in isolation against the rest of the facade, which makes them a high-stakes surface where even subtle differences matter. Rainwashed returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Rainwashed vs Silvermist Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Rainwashed on one side and Silvermist on the other.
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.
