Hearts Delight vs Paper

Hearts DelightBenjamin MoorevsPaperTikkurilaΔE 28.0Very different colors

Hearts Delight is a Benjamin Moore color while Paper comes from Tikkurila. Hearts Delight reads as pink-red, while Paper reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 88 vs 52, Paper will read as the brighter of the two — a 36-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 28.0, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
