Studio Clay vs Piazza

Studio ClayBehrvsPiazzaTikkurilaΔE 6.3Noticeable difference

Where Studio Clay belongs to Behr's range, Piazza is a Tikkurila color. Studio Clay reads as beige, while Piazza reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Piazza (LRV 65) reflects noticeably more light than Studio Clay (LRV 61), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Studio Clay vs Piazza in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. Studio Clay and Piazza 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

In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Piazza gives the walls a little more lift.

Digital color is approximate.

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