Agave vs Dragonfly
Agave and Dragonfly come from the same Behr collection. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. The 5-point LRV gap — 31 for Agave vs 26 for Dragonfly — means Agave will open up a space more effectively. Where Agave leans green and blue, Dragonfly reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 40.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Agave on one side and Dragonfly 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.
