Night TrainBenjamin MoorevsPaperTikkurilaΔE 41.3Very different colors

Night Train is a Benjamin Moore color while Paper comes from Tikkurila. Night Train reads as grey, while Paper reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 88 vs 23, Paper will read as the brighter of the two — a 66-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 41.3, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Living Room

Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Paper returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
