Blue Stream vs Teal Ripple

Blue StreamBehrvsTeal RippleDuluxΔE 8.7Noticeable difference

Blue Stream is a Behr color while Teal Ripple comes from Dulux. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. With LRVs of 10 and 11, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Blue Stream's blue character against Teal Ripple's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 8.7, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Blue Stream vs Teal Ripple in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Blue Stream and Teal Ripple 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

Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

Bedroom

Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
