Heath Gray vs Looking Glass

Heath GrayBehrvsLooking GlassBehrΔE 7.9 — Noticeable difference

Both from Behr's palette. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Looking Glass (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Heath Gray (LRV 59), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Heath Gray runs green and yellow while Looking Glass is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.9 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. 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.
