English Hollyhock vs Bone China Blue - Faint

Where English Hollyhock belongs to Behr's range, Bone China Blue - Faint is a Little Greene color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Bone China Blue - Faint (LRV 61) reflects noticeably more light than English Hollyhock (LRV 55), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 5.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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.

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