Why people switch between Behr and PPG
Most people comparing Behr to PPG are not shopping for a new colour. They have already chosen one, and then hit a price difference or a painter who buys from a single supplier. The question is what goes on the wall instead.

The candidate is lighter, with a small hue shift. Its LRV is 1.0 points lower.
Behr and PPG publish LRV against their own measurements, and here the two disagree with the swatches: Bourbon reads slightly lighter than Spanish Leather in colour space while carrying the lower published LRV. Treat LRV as comparable within a brand, not across two.
