Paper vs Winter
Both are Tikkurila colors. Hue-wise, Paper belongs to the beige-greige family and Winter to the greige-white family. At LRV 88 vs 85, Paper will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. With a ΔE of 1.4, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Paper vs Winter in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Paper and Winter are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Paper has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Paper vs Winter Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Paper on one side and Winter 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.
