Adirondack Blue vs Etruria
Where Adirondack Blue belongs to Behr's range, Etruria is a Little Greene color. Adirondack Blue reads as blue-grey, while Etruria reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Adirondack Blue (LRV 22) reflects noticeably more light than Etruria (LRV 19), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 5.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Adirondack Blue vs Etruria in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Adirondack Blue and Etruria 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
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Adirondack Blue gives the walls a little more lift.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Adirondack Blue has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
House
Seen across an entire facade, subtle tonal differences become pronounced. What reads as nearly the same on a chip often reads as clearly different at scale. Adirondack Blue reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Front Door
A front door is a focal point — small color differences read clearly at this concentrated scale. The brightness difference is modest but present — Adirondack Blue gives the walls a little more lift.

Adirondack Blue vs Etruria Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Adirondack Blue on one side and Etruria 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.
