$B-V$ corresponds to the base 10 logarithm of a flux ratio.
$$B-V = -2.5 log left(frac{f_B}{f_V}right)$$
So trying to guess what you are trying to calculate, it is the percentage change in the blue to visible flux ratio?
In which case the percentage change is
$$ p = frac{ 10^{-(B-V)_2/2.5} - 10^{-(B-V)_1/2.5}}{10^{-(B-V)_1/2.5}}times 100$$
A percentage change can of course be negative.
