Distant Gray vs Paper
Distant Gray is a Benjamin Moore color while Paper comes from Tikkurila. Distant Gray reads as green-grey, while Paper reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 88 and 88, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 1.4, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.

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.
