PorcelainSherwin-WilliamsvsPiazzaTikkurilaΔE 5.3Noticeable difference

Porcelain (Sherwin-Williams) and Piazza (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Porcelain reads as beige, while Piazza reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 10-point LRV gap — 75 for Porcelain vs 65 for Piazza — means Porcelain will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 5.3 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

Porcelain vs Piazza in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. Porcelain 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

A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Porcelain reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Piazza.

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.
