Classic Trim vs Ammonite in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Classic Trim and Ammonite 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. Classic Trim 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 Classic Trim will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Ammonite would.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The LRV gap is large enough that Classic Trim will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Ammonite would.
Dining Room
Dining room light is typically the warmest in the house, which shifts both colors toward the red end of the spectrum compared to daylight. Classic Trim reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Ammonite.
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 Classic Trim will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Ammonite would.

Digital color is approximate.
