Chalk vs Paper
Both from Tikkurila's palette. Paper (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Chalk (LRV 81), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 3.0, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
Chalk vs Paper Color Comparison
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.
