Carbon Copy vs Paper
Carbon Copy (Benjamin Moore) and Paper (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Carbon Copy reads as grey, while Paper reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 83-point LRV gap — 88 for Paper vs 5 for Carbon Copy — means Paper will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 73.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Carbon Copy vs Paper Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Carbon Copy on one side and Paper on the other.
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.
