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.

Nephrite vs Piazza in Real Spaces

Seeing Nephrite and Piazza in actual rooms makes the difference concrete. Browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall. Showing 2 room types where both colors have photos.

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. Piazza reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Nephrite.

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. Piazza returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
