Made in the Shade vs Tabby Cat Gray in Real Spaces

Made in the Shade and Tabby Cat Gray are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone. These real-room photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions. Showing 1 room type where both colors have photos.
