AgaveBehrvsRainy AfternoonBehrΔE 1.7 — Subtle difference

Agave and Rainy Afternoon come from the same Behr collection. Agave reads as blue-grey, while Rainy Afternoon reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 31 vs 30 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Agave leans green and blue, Rainy Afternoon reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 1.7 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Agave vs Rainy Afternoon in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. Agave and Rainy Afternoon 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.

Bathroom

Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. In photos like these you're seeing the difference at its most direct. In a finished room, the distinction is there but not dramatic.

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.
