Kauai vs Synergy
Kauai (Behr) and Synergy (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Kauai reads as blue-green, while Synergy reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 6-point LRV gap — 43 for Synergy vs 37 for Kauai — means Synergy will open up a space more effectively. Where Kauai leans green, Synergy reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 5.4 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.
