High Reflective White vs Paper
High Reflective White is a Sherwin-Williams color while Paper comes from Tikkurila. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. At LRV 93 vs 88, High Reflective White will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. With a ΔE of 1.8, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
High Reflective White vs Paper in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. High Reflective White and Paper are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. High Reflective White has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The brightness difference is modest but present — High Reflective White gives the walls a little more lift.
House
At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. The brightness difference is modest but present — High Reflective White gives the walls a little more lift.

High Reflective White vs Paper Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see High Reflective White on one side and Paper on the other.
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.
