Wave Top vs Blue Diamond paint color comparison

Wave Top vs Blue Diamond

Wave TopBehrvsBlue DiamondBenjamin MooreΔE 4.2Noticeable difference

Where Wave Top belongs to Behr's range, Blue Diamond is a Benjamin Moore color. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Blue Diamond (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Wave Top (LRV 60), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Wave Top runs green and blue while Blue Diamond is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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.
