Behr Simply Posh MQ5-55 on a wall, hex #8CB9D4

The closest Behr paint to Vista Paint Gaugin's Blue (7344) is Simply Posh MQ5-55, a delta-E of 3.31 away — the nearest Behr makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.

Simply Posh is 2 LRV points lighter, so the room will read slightly brighter. Undertone reads as blue against blue, at chroma 20.2 and 22.1.

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.
