Indigo vs Paper
Indigo (Sherwin-Williams) and Paper (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Indigo belongs to the blue family and Paper to the beige-greige family. The 82-point LRV gap — 88 for Paper vs 6 for Indigo — means Paper will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 70.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Indigo vs Paper Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Indigo 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.
