H486 vs Plaster
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. With LRVs of 56 and 57, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 0.8, 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.

H486 vs Plaster Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see H486 on one side and Plaster on the other.
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.
