H499 vs Paper
Both from Tikkurila's palette. Paper (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than H499 (LRV 57), a difference of 31 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 15.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
H499 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.
