Finding a Behr Equivalent for November Rain
If you love Benjamin Moore November Rain but need a Behr alternative, you are not alone. This is one of the most common cross-brand paint matching searches, whether you are working with a painter who prefers Behr, your local store does not carry Benjamin Moore, or you simply want to compare prices across brands before committing.
November Rain (2142-60) is a medium green with soft green-gray undertones. A soft, atmospheric green-gray named for the melancholy beauty of late autumn. Lighter than October Mist, with a quiet, contemplative quality that calms without darkening. To find a good Behr match, we need a color that captures not just the right depth (LRV 59.42) but also that specific undertone character. That is where Delta E color science comes in.
We calculated the perceptual color distance between November Rain 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 Nature's Gift (PPU11-12) with a Delta E of 4, which is a "good match" level match. Nature's Gift is similar. You will want to test a sample before committing, as the difference may be noticeable in certain lighting.

Availability matters if your nearest paint store or home center specializes in Behr. Some painters have strong preferences for one brand's formula based on coverage, dry time, or workability.
