Cottage White vs Paper
Where Cottage White belongs to Behr's range, Paper is a Tikkurila color. Cottage White reads as beige-white, while Paper reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Paper (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Cottage White (LRV 82), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 8.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
