Rattan vs Paper

RattanCloverdale PaintvsPaperTikkurilaΔE 20.3Distinct difference

Rattan is a Cloverdale Paint color while Paper comes from Tikkurila. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. At LRV 88 vs 55, Paper will read as the brighter of the two — a 33-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 20.3, 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.

Living Room

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.
