Sunflower vs Paper
Sunflower (Sherwin-Williams) and Paper (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Sunflower reads as beige, while Paper reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 48-point LRV gap — 88 for Paper vs 40 for Sunflower — means Paper will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 67.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Sunflower vs Paper Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Sunflower 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.
