Behr
·
Little Greene

Where Graphic Charcoal belongs to Behr's range, Scree is a Little Greene color. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (11 vs 10), so they'll read as similarly dark in most lighting conditions. Graphic Charcoal runs blue while Scree is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.

Graphic Charcoal vs Scree in Real Spaces

Graphic Charcoal and Scree are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone. These real-room photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions. Showing 4 room types where both colors have photos.

Living Room

In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.
