Lilac FieldsBehrvsDenim DriftDuluxΔE 6.0Noticeable difference

Lilac Fields is a Behr color while Denim Drift comes from Dulux. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. With LRVs of 29 and 27, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Lilac Fields's blue character against Denim Drift's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 6.0, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
