Frog GreenCloverdale PaintvsPaperTikkurilaΔE 39.1Very different colors

At LRV 88 vs 59, Paper will read as the brighter of the two — a 29-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 39.1, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

Digital color is approximate.

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