Speedboat vs Sky Fall
Speedboat (Behr) and Sky Fall (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 6-point LRV gap — 51 for Sky Fall vs 45 for Speedboat — means Sky Fall will open up a space more effectively. Where Speedboat leans blue, Sky Fall reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 4.6 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Speedboat vs Sky Fall in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Speedboat and Sky Fall are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Sky Fall reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Sky Fall has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Speedboat vs Sky Fall Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Speedboat on one side and Sky Fall on the other.
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.
