Jamaica Bay vs Paper

Jamaica BaySherwin-WilliamsvsPaperTikkurilaΔE 46.1Very different colors

Jamaica Bay (Sherwin-Williams) and Paper (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Jamaica Bay reads as blue, while Paper reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 58-point LRV gap — 88 for Paper vs 30 for Jamaica Bay — means Paper will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 46.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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.
