Juniper Berries vs Underwater
Both are Behr colors. Hue-wise, Juniper Berries belongs to the blue family and Underwater to the blue-grey family. At LRV 14 vs 11, Juniper Berries will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-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 6.8, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Juniper Berries vs Underwater in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Juniper Berries and Underwater 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.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The brightness difference is modest but present — Juniper Berries gives the walls a little more lift.
Front Door
Front doors are seen in isolation against the rest of the facade, which makes them a high-stakes surface where even subtle differences matter. Juniper Berries has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Kitchen Cabinets
On cabinetry, undertone and temperature become more pronounced against countertops and hardware. The brightness difference is modest but present — Juniper Berries gives the walls a little more lift.

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.
