Finding a Behr Equivalent for Loggia

If you love Sherwin Williams Loggia 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 Sherwin Williams, or you simply want to compare prices across brands before committing.

Loggia (SW 7506) is a medium beige with warm beige undertones. A warm, light-medium beige. Traditional and inviting. To find a good Behr match, we need a color that captures not just the right depth (LRV 54) but also that specific undertone character. That is where Delta E color science comes in.

We calculated the perceptual color distance between Loggia 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 Wheat Bread (PPU4-13) with a Delta E of 4, which is a "good match" level match. Wheat Bread is close. You will want to test a sample before committing, as the difference may be noticeable in certain lighting.
