Adirondack Blue vs Frontier Brown

Adirondack Blue and Frontier Brown come from the same Behr collection. Adirondack Blue reads as blue-grey, while Frontier Brown reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 22 vs 24 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Adirondack Blue leans blue, Frontier Brown reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 22.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
