Potters ClayBenjamin MoorevsPaperTikkurilaΔE 44.7Very different colors

Potters Clay (Benjamin Moore) and Paper (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Potters Clay reads as beige, while Paper reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins.

Digital color is approximate.

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