Auburn Glaze vs Big Cypress
Where Auburn Glaze belongs to Behr's range, Big Cypress is a PPG color. These are both beige-pinks, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-pink to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (28 vs 28), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 1.5, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Auburn Glaze vs Big Cypress in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Auburn Glaze and Big Cypress 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 two are close enough that the choice comes down to finer qualities — undertone, texture, what the color sits next to.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. At this scale the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side, as shown here, to reliably tell them apart.
