Empress vs X478

EmpressTikkurilavsX478TikkurilaΔE 3.6Noticeable difference

Empress and X478 come from the same Tikkurila collection. Empress reads as beige-pink, while X478 reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 4-point LRV gap — 55 for Empress vs 51 for X478 — means Empress will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 3.6 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same 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. 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.
