Nypd vs Shiitake

NypdBehrvsShiitakeBehrΔE 24.8Distinct difference

Nypd and Shiitake come from the same Behr collection. Hue-wise, Nypd belongs to the blue-grey family and Shiitake to the greige-grey family. The 18-point LRV gap — 33 for Shiitake vs 15 for Nypd — means Shiitake will open up a space more effectively. Where Nypd leans blue, Shiitake reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 24.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
