Ash vs Piazza

AshCloverdale PaintvsPiazzaTikkurilaΔE 6.1Noticeable difference

Ash is a Cloverdale Paint color while Piazza comes from Tikkurila. Hue-wise, Ash belongs to the grey family and Piazza to the beige-greige family. At LRV 65 vs 56, Piazza will read as the brighter of the two — a 9-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 6.1, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Ash vs Piazza in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Ash and Piazza are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

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. Piazza returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Bedroom

Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Piazza will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Ash would.

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.
