Chic Gray vs Teton Blue

Chic GrayBehrvsTeton BlueBehrΔE NaNVery different colors

Both from Behr's palette. Chic Gray reads as greige-grey, while Teton Blue reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Chic Gray (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Teton Blue (LRV 31), a difference of 29 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Chic Gray 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 NaN, 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.

Bedroom

The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Chic Gray reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Teton Blue.

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.
