Tea Light vs Paper
Tea Light (Benjamin Moore) and Paper (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Tea Light reads as green-yellow, while Paper reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 28-point LRV gap — 88 for Paper vs 60 for Tea Light — means Paper will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 14.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Tea Light on one side and Paper on the other.
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.
