Aura White vs Paper
Where Aura White belongs to Sherwin-Williams's range, Paper is a Tikkurila color. Aura White reads as blue-white, while Paper reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Paper (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Aura White (LRV 76), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
