White Heron vs Piazza
Where White Heron belongs to Sherwin-Williams's range, Piazza is a Tikkurila color. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. White Heron (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Piazza (LRV 65), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
White Heron vs Piazza in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. White Heron and Piazza 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
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that White Heron will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Piazza would.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. White Heron reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Piazza.

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.
