Pearly White vs Piazza
Where Pearly White belongs to Sherwin-Williams's range, Piazza is a Tikkurila color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Pearly White (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Piazza (LRV 65), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Pearly White vs Piazza in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Pearly White and Piazza 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
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Pearly White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Piazza would.

Kitchen

Home Office
The test for a home office color isn't how it looks in a quick glance — it's whether it still feels right after a full day of work. Pearly White reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Piazza.
