Exotic Lime vs Paper
Exotic Lime (Benjamin Moore) and Paper (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Exotic Lime reads as beige-yellow, while Paper reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 36-point LRV gap — 88 for Paper vs 52 for Exotic Lime — means Paper will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 70.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
