Caffeine vs Teton Blue
Both are Behr colors. Caffeine reads as greige-grey, while Teton Blue reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 31 vs 20, Teton Blue will read as the brighter of the two — a 10-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Caffeine's red character against Teton Blue's blue — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 20.5, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Caffeine vs Teton Blue in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Caffeine and Teton Blue in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Teton Blue returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Teton Blue will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Caffeine would.

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.
