Intercoastal GrayBehrvsOcean DrivePPGΔE 3.2Noticeable difference

Intercoastal Gray (Behr) and Ocean Drive (PPG) come from different manufacturers. Intercoastal Gray reads as blue-grey, while Ocean Drive reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 6-point LRV gap — 51 for Ocean Drive vs 45 for Intercoastal Gray — means Ocean Drive will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 3.2 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

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.
