Gettysburg Gray (HC-107) is a dark gray with historic green-gray undertones. A dark, historic gray-green from the Historical Collection. Named for the Pennsylvania battlefield. Rich and somber with warm green undertones. To find a good Behr match, we need a color that captures not just the right depth (LRV 17.22) but also that specific undertone character. That is where Delta E color science comes in.
We calculated the perceptual color distance between Gettysburg Gray 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 Off Broadway (PPU18-17) with a Delta E of 4.4, which is a "good match" level match. Off Broadway is less green. You will want to test a sample before committing, as the difference may be noticeable in certain lighting.
