Depth & Reflection

Editorial comparison only. Review color, texture and reflection with physical samples; confirm the finish system for the intended application.

Open your material board

01

Choose the relationship

Decide which material is the visual anchor and which surface should provide contrast. Compare the samples together before judging either one on its own.

02

Observe more than one view

Look from the directions relevant to a wall plane or furniture form. Record the view and lighting condition when a comparison changes your preference.

03

Translate the study into a brief

List the exact finish codes you want to evaluate and describe the intended substrate. Keep the palette name as a project note, not a substitute for the material references.
