Blue StreamBehrvsMelon SorbetBehrΔE 65.3 — Very different colors

Blue Stream and Melon Sorbet come from the same Behr collection. Blue Stream reads as blue, while Melon Sorbet reads as beige-pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 47-point LRV gap — 57 for Melon Sorbet vs 10 for Blue Stream — means Melon Sorbet will open up a space more effectively. Where Blue Stream leans blue, Melon Sorbet reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 65.3 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.
