Cloister vs Deco Grey 1927

CloisterTikkurilavsDeco Grey 1927TikkurilaΔE 2.9Subtle difference

Both are Tikkurila colors. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. At LRV 46 vs 43, Cloister will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. With a ΔE of 2.9, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. 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.
