Hush vs Rainy Afternoon

HushBehrvsRainy AfternoonBehrΔE 17.0 — Distinct difference

Hush and Rainy Afternoon come from the same Behr collection. Hush reads as grey, while Rainy Afternoon reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 23-point LRV gap — 53 for Hush vs 30 for Rainy Afternoon — means Hush will open up a space more effectively. Both share a green character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 17.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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.
