Seaworthy vs Silken Peacock in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Seaworthy and Silken Peacock in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
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. Silken Peacock returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Front Door
On a front door, the color is both the first and last thing you see — a context where even a modest tonal difference reads clearly. Silken Peacock reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Seaworthy.
