Crystalline Falls vs Dillard's Blue
Crystalline Falls (Behr) and Dillard's Blue (Cloverdale Paint) come from different manufacturers. These are both blue-greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-green to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 79 for Dillard's Blue vs 76 for Crystalline Falls — means Dillard's Blue will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 2.0 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Crystalline Falls vs Dillard's Blue in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Crystalline Falls and Dillard's Blue 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.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Dillard's Blue has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Crystalline Falls vs Dillard's Blue Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Crystalline Falls on one side and Dillard's Blue on the other.
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.
