Cool AquaBenjamin MoorevsPiazzaTikkurilaΔE 42.8Very different colors

Cool Aqua is a Benjamin Moore color while Piazza comes from Tikkurila. Hue-wise, Cool Aqua belongs to the blue family and Piazza to the beige-greige family. At LRV 65 vs 37, Piazza will read as the brighter of the two — a 28-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms.

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.
