White Sesame vs Piazza in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. White Sesame and Piazza 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.

Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The brightness difference is modest but present — White Sesame gives the walls a little more lift.
