Tower Tan vs Paper
Tower Tan (Sherwin-Williams) and Paper (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Tower Tan reads as beige, while Paper reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 39-point LRV gap — 88 for Paper vs 50 for Tower Tan — means Paper will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 26.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate.
