Urban RaincoatBehrvsPiazzaTikkurilaΔE 9.2Noticeable difference

The 8-point LRV gap — 65 for Piazza vs 57 for Urban Raincoat — means Piazza will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 9.2 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

Urban Raincoat vs Piazza in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Urban Raincoat 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

A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Piazza reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Urban Raincoat.

Bedroom

Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Piazza returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Kitchen

Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Piazza returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
