Boreal vs Northern Glen

BorealBehrvsNorthern GlenBehrΔE 11.7 — Distinct difference

Both are Behr colors. Both sit in the green-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 19 vs 11, Boreal will read as the brighter of the two — a 8-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a green quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 11.7, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.
