Protégé Bronze vs Paper
Protégé Bronze (Sherwin-Williams) and Paper (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. The 79-point LRV gap — 88 for Paper vs 10 for Protégé Bronze — means Paper will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 60.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate.
