Frisky Blue vs Speedboat

Frisky BlueBehrvsSpeedboatBehrΔE 6.0Noticeable difference

Both are Behr colors. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. At LRV 45 vs 37, Speedboat 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 blue quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 6.0, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Frisky Blue vs Speedboat in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Frisky Blue and Speedboat 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.

Kitchen

Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The LRV gap is large enough that Speedboat will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Frisky Blue would.

Digital color is approximate.

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