Undine vs Wave Top
Both are Behr colors. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. At LRV 60 vs 43, Wave Top will read as the brighter of the two — a 17-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a green and blue quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 10.6, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 6 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Undine vs Wave Top in Real Spaces
6 real rooms side by side. Seeing Undine and Wave Top in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Wave Top returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Wave Top will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Undine would.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The LRV gap is large enough that Wave Top will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Undine would.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Wave Top will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Undine would.
House
At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Wave Top will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Undine would.

Undine vs Wave Top Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Undine on one side and Wave Top on the other.
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.
