Gargoyle vs Piazza

GargoyleBenjamin MoorevsPiazzaTikkurilaΔE 35.2Very different colors

Gargoyle (Benjamin Moore) and Piazza (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Gargoyle reads as greige-grey, while Piazza reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 46-point LRV gap — 65 for Piazza vs 19 for Gargoyle — means Piazza will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 35.2 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.
