Minuet White vs Paper

Minuet WhiteSherwin-WilliamsvsPaperTikkurilaΔE 5.0Noticeable difference

Minuet White is a Sherwin-Williams color while Paper comes from Tikkurila. Minuet White reads as white, while Paper reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 88 vs 80, Paper will read as the brighter of the two — a 9-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 5.0, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. 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. 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.
