Freshwater vs Piazza

FreshwaterSherwin-WilliamsvsPiazzaTikkurilaΔE 36.9Very different colors

Freshwater is a Sherwin-Williams color while Piazza comes from Tikkurila. Freshwater reads as blue, while Piazza reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 65 vs 32, Piazza will read as the brighter of the two — a 33-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 36.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

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