AquatintSherwin-WilliamsvsTiffanyTikkurilaΔE 8.0Noticeable difference

Where Aquatint belongs to Sherwin-Williams's range, Tiffany is a Tikkurila color. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Aquatint (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Tiffany (LRV 54), a difference of 18 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 8.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
