Simple White vs Piazza
Where Simple 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. Simple White (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Piazza (LRV 65), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Digital color is approximate.
