Beacon BlueBehrvsSunny Side UpBehrΔE 119.7 — Very different colors

Beacon Blue and Sunny Side Up come from the same Behr collection. Beacon Blue reads as blue, while Sunny Side Up reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 36-point LRV gap — 45 for Sunny Side Up vs 9 for Beacon Blue — means Sunny Side Up will open up a space more effectively. Where Beacon Blue leans blue, Sunny Side Up reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 119.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
