Black Mocha vs Teton Blue
Both from Behr's palette. Black Mocha reads as grey, while Teton Blue reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Teton Blue (LRV 31) reflects noticeably more light than Black Mocha (LRV 7), a difference of 24 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Black Mocha runs red while Teton Blue is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 33.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
