Blue Stream vs Fusion

Blue StreamBehrvsFusionJotunΔE 10.6Distinct difference

Blue Stream is a Behr color while Fusion comes from Jotun. 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 12, 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 Fusion's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 10.6, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
