N473TikkurilavsLilac GrayValsparΔE 11.6Distinct difference

N473 is a Tikkurila color while Lilac Gray comes from Valspar. N473 reads as pink, while Lilac Gray reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins.

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.
