Blue Iris vs Paper
Where Blue Iris belongs to Sherwin-Williams's range, Paper is a Tikkurila color. Hue-wise, Blue Iris belongs to the blue-grey family and Paper to the beige-greige family. Paper (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Iris (LRV 73), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 7.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
