Cross-brand matchCross-brand matchBehr 500C-2 translated into the Dunn-Edwards line
The closest Dunn-Edwards paint to Behr Aqua Pura (500C-2) is Air of Mint DE5721, a delta-E of 1.73 away — close enough to swap without anyone noticing, though a large sample in daylight will show the difference.
Air of Mint is 0.7 LRV points darker, so the room will read slightly deeper. Undertone reads as teal undertone against green undertone, at chroma 9.3 and 7.6.
Codes are not transferable between manufacturers and no brand publishes a conversion table, so every figure here is measured from the published hex values rather than taken from a chart.
