Kauai vs Imagine
Kauai (Behr) and Imagine (Jotun) come from different manufacturers. Kauai reads as blue-green, while Imagine reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 12-point LRV gap — 49 for Imagine vs 37 for Kauai — means Imagine will open up a space more effectively. Where Kauai leans green, Imagine reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 29.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Kauai vs Imagine Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Kauai on one side and Imagine on the other.
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.
