Cosmic Cobalt vs Electric Blue paint color comparison

Cosmic Cobalt vs Electric Blue

Cosmic CobaltBehrvsElectric BluePPGΔE 15.0Distinct difference

Where Cosmic Cobalt belongs to Behr's range, Electric Blue is a PPG color. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Electric Blue (LRV 22) reflects noticeably more light than Cosmic Cobalt (LRV 10), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 15.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.
