Rainy AfternoonBehrvsSilver MineBehrΔE 17.0 — Distinct difference

Rainy Afternoon and Silver Mine come from the same Behr collection. Hue-wise, Rainy Afternoon belongs to the blue-green family and Silver Mine to the grey family. The 23-point LRV gap — 53 for Silver Mine vs 30 for Rainy Afternoon — means Silver Mine will open up a space more effectively. Both share a green character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways.

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.
