The color does not change and if you are worried ask the paint store to look at the formula on their computer to see if there are any differences.

Will it be exact - no. Will it make a difference? Probably not.

Human perception of color is dependent both on the color and the reflectivity of a surface, so as soon as you change sheen it looks lighter or darker.

Paint color is also not mixed identically - every can of paint can be ever so slightly different than the next - this is why professional painters mix the cans together before painting and never let one can completely run out before mixing in a new can.

Temperature and dry time changes the color of paint - the quicker it dries the lighter it is. Again, not enough that most people notice unless they are trying to patch a wall and the paint isn't drying the same color as before.

If the entire job is going to be done in either Aura or another BM paint it won't make enough of a difference that anyone would notice.

Is the color the same as the non-Aura version?

Yes. Gloss levels being equal. Doesn't matter what BenM grade it's mixed in because the control target to hit in every case is a paint chip.

In the case that this is your concern - our entire house is painted Chantilly Lace (trim, ceilings, doors - THE WHOLE interior), just different sheens, and the bathrooms are the aura bath and spa. Some people have commented thinking it was a different color, but that's because they are on different planes and get light from different directions. Mostly they are impressed the whites match but are different before being told they are in fact the same. They are definitely the same color.
