Where Sweet Flower belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Paper is a Tikkurila color. Hue-wise, Sweet Flower belongs to the blue-white family and Paper to the beige-greige family. Paper (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Sweet Flower (LRV 77), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 7.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Sweet Flower vs Paper in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Sweet Flower and Paper 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

In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Paper will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Sweet Flower would.

Digital color is approximate.

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