Precious StoneBehrvsTsunamiBehrΔE 43.0 — Very different colors

Precious Stone and Tsunami come from the same Behr collection. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. The 7-point LRV gap — 16 for Precious Stone vs 9 for Tsunami — means Precious Stone will open up a space more effectively. Both share a blue character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 43.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Bedroom

Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Precious Stone has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

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.
