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.

Bedroom

Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Teton Blue returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

House

A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. Teton Blue returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
