Tarpaulin grey vs Piazza

Tarpaulin greyRAL ClassicvsPiazzaTikkurilaΔE 46.2Very different colors

Tarpaulin grey (RAL Classic) and Piazza (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Tarpaulin grey reads as grey, while Piazza reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 52-point LRV gap — 65 for Piazza vs 13 for Tarpaulin grey — means Piazza will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 46.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate.

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