Undine vs Bora Bora Shore

UndineBehrvsBora Bora ShoreSherwin-WilliamsΔE 6.7Noticeable difference

Undine is a Behr color while Bora Bora Shore comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. At LRV 56 vs 43, Bora Bora Shore will read as the brighter of the two — a 13-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Undine's green and blue character against Bora Bora Shore's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 6.7, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Undine vs Bora Bora Shore in Real Spaces

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. Bora Bora Shore returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
