Peaceful Blue vs Antique White

Peaceful BlueBehrvsAntique WhiteJotunΔE NaNVery different colors

Where Peaceful Blue belongs to Behr's range, Antique White is a Jotun color. Peaceful Blue reads as blue, while Antique White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Antique White (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Peaceful Blue (LRV 44), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Peaceful Blue runs blue while Antique White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of NaN, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Digital color is approximate.
