Haven vs K500

HavenTikkurilavsK500TikkurilaΔE 1.8Subtle difference

Haven and K500 come from the same Tikkurila collection. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 51 for Haven vs 49 for K500 — means Haven will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 1.8 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a 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.
