Sweet Spring vs Paper

Sweet SpringBenjamin MoorevsPaperTikkurilaΔE 12.6Distinct difference

Where Sweet Spring belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Paper is a Tikkurila color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Paper (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Sweet Spring (LRV 63), a difference of 25 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 12.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.

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