Snowfall vs Paper
Snowfall (Sherwin-Williams) and Paper (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Snowfall reads as greige-grey, while Paper reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 15-point LRV gap — 88 for Paper vs 73 for Snowfall — means Paper will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 6.9 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Snowfall vs Paper in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Snowfall and Paper 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. Paper reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Snowfall.

Snowfall vs Paper Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Snowfall on one side and Paper on the other.
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.
