Offshore Mist vs Urban Raincoat
Both from Behr's palette. Hue-wise, Offshore Mist belongs to the blue family and Urban Raincoat to the blue-grey family. Offshore Mist (LRV 66) reflects noticeably more light than Urban Raincoat (LRV 57), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 4.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Offshore Mist vs Urban Raincoat in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Offshore Mist and Urban Raincoat 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.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Offshore Mist will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Urban Raincoat would.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Offshore Mist reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Urban Raincoat.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Offshore Mist returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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.
