Maxi Teal vs Paper
Maxi Teal (Sherwin-Williams) and Paper (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Maxi Teal reads as blue, while Paper reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 76-point LRV gap — 88 for Paper vs 13 for Maxi Teal — means Paper will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 58.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
