Whirlwind vs Piazza

WhirlwindSherwin-WilliamsvsPiazzaTikkurilaΔE 2.3Subtle difference

Where Whirlwind 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. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (63 vs 65), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 2.3, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
