Finding a Behr Equivalent for Beach Glass
If you love Benjamin Moore Beach Glass but need a Behr alternative, you are not alone.

More green than Sea Salt, more gray than Palladian Blue. Coastal and serene. To find a good Behr match, we need a color that captures not just the right depth (LRV 50.22) but also that specific undertone character. That is where Delta E color science comes in.
We calculated the perceptual color distance between Beach Glass and every Behr color using the CIE2000 Delta E formula, which measures how different two colors look to the human eye. A Delta E under 2 means most people cannot tell the colors apart. Between 2 and 4, you might notice a difference in certain lighting. Above 5, the difference is clearly visible side by side.
The results are decent but not perfect. The closest Behr option is Jade Dragon (PPU11-10) with a Delta E of 4, which is a "good match" level match. Jade Dragon is a reasonable match. You will want to test a sample before committing, as the difference may be noticeable in certain lighting.
