Soft CloudBehrvsToucanBehrΔE 68.3 — Very different colors

Soft Cloud and Toucan come from the same Behr collection. Hue-wise, Soft Cloud belongs to the blue family and Toucan to the beige family. The 34-point LRV gap — 73 for Soft Cloud vs 40 for Toucan — means Soft Cloud will open up a space more effectively. Where Soft Cloud leans blue, Toucan reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 68.3 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.
