Dolphin FinBehrvsPapyrus whiteRAL ClassicΔE 2.1Subtle difference

Where Dolphin Fin belongs to Behr's range, Papyrus white is a RAL Classic color. Dolphin Fin reads as greige-grey, while Papyrus white reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (59 vs 59), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 2.1, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
