Will the PPG / Glidden version look the same?
If the ΔE is under 2, almost certainly — most people can't tell two colors with ΔE under 2 apart, even side by side. 2–3.5 is close; above 5 starts to read as a different color. These matches use published hex values, which are approximations of the real paint, so always brush a sample on the wall before you commit.
How To Convert a Behr Color to PPG / Glidden
Converting a Behr paint color to PPG / Glidden takes two steps. First, find the Behr color you want to switch — type its name or code into the search box above, or click the swatch to pick the color by hand. The tool compares it against the full PPG / Glidden deck using ΔE2000, the color-difference standard paint labs rely on, and puts the closest PPG / Glidden equivalent at the top of the list.
For example, the nearest PPG / Glidden match to Behr Cracked Pepper is Starless Sky (PPG0995-7) — a ΔE 2.97 match, close enough to read as the same color on the wall.
Once you have the PPG / Glidden name and code, ask for it at any paint store. PPG / Glidden colors are mixed to order on the same tinting machines, so you can buy the converted color anywhere PPG / Glidden is sold.
Why Convert Behr to PPG / Glidden?
Most people convert Behr to PPG / Glidden for one of a few reasons. The most common is availability — your local store carries PPG / Glidden but not Behr, so matching the color lets you buy it close to home. Others switch because a favorite Behr color was discontinued, because PPG / Glidden runs cheaper for the same shade, or because a contractor only sprays PPG / Glidden and wants the whole job in one line.
Whatever the reason, the goal is the same: get a PPG / Glidden color that looks like the Behr original. Every match on this page is a real, in-stock PPG / Glidden paint, so there is no custom mixing needed to make the swap.
Buying the PPG / Glidden Equivalent
Take the PPG / Glidden color name and code to the paint counter and ask for it in the finish you need — matte, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss. Finish changes how a color reads, so if you are matching an existing Behr wall, try to use the same sheen.
Buy a sample pot of the PPG / Glidden match first and brush it on the wall next to the Behr original if you still have it. Let it dry fully and look at it in daylight and under your lamps at night before you commit to a full gallon.
Behr to PPG / Glidden conversion — FAQ
Is there a PPG / Glidden equivalent for every Behr color?+
For almost every color, yes. PPG / Glidden carries a deep deck, so most Behr colors land a close PPG / Glidden match — usually under ΔE 2, which looks identical to the eye. A handful of very saturated or specialty Behr colors may only reach a ΔE 3–5 match; in that case, ask the PPG / Glidden counter about a custom tint to your hex.
What is the closest PPG / Glidden color to Behr Cracked Pepper?+
The closest PPG / Glidden match to Behr Cracked Pepper (PPU18-01) is Starless Sky (PPG0995-7), a ΔE 2.97 match. You can find the same kind of equivalent for any other Behr color using the search box at the top of this page.
Will PPG / Glidden paint match my existing Behr walls?+
If the ΔE is under 2 it will be very close, but an existing wall may have faded or yellowed over the years. Always brush a PPG / Glidden sample next to the old Behr paint and check it in your room's light before painting the whole wall.
Can I convert PPG / Glidden colors back to Behr?+
Yes — use the PPG / Glidden → Behr converter for the reverse direction. It works the same way, finding the closest Behr color to any PPG / Glidden shade.
Does Behr or PPG / Glidden paint cost less?+
Prices change by region, store, and sale, and the two brands sit in different product lines, so check current pricing at your local store. Many people convert Behr to PPG / Glidden specifically because the PPG / Glidden version of a color comes out cheaper, but it is worth comparing the exact products side by side.
How accurate is this Behr to PPG / Glidden conversion?+
The matches use ΔE2000, the same perceptual color-difference formula paint chemists use to check that two batches came out the same. It is accurate for choosing between real paint formulas, but the hex values are screen approximations — so a sample on the wall is always the final check.
