Garden Stone vs Paper

Garden StoneBenjamin MoorevsPaperTikkurilaΔE 26.5Very different colors

Garden Stone (Benjamin Moore) and Paper (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Garden Stone reads as beige-yellow, while Paper reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 39-point LRV gap — 88 for Paper vs 49 for Garden Stone — means Paper will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 26.5 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.

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.
