Peeps vs Paper

PeepsCloverdale PaintvsPaperTikkurilaΔE 69.4Very different colors

Peeps is a Cloverdale Paint color while Paper comes from Tikkurila. Peeps reads as beige, while Paper reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 88 vs 68, Paper will read as the brighter of the two — a 20-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 69.4, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Digital color is approximate.

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