Plaster vs Piazza
Plaster (Cloverdale Paint) and Piazza (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Plaster belongs to the greige-grey family and Piazza to the beige-greige family. The 3-point LRV gap — 68 for Plaster vs 65 for Piazza — means Plaster will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 2.7 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Plaster vs Piazza in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Plaster 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
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Plaster reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Plaster has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Plaster has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Plaster vs Piazza Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Plaster on one side and Piazza 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.
