Looking Glass vs Salt Cellar paint color comparison

Looking Glass vs Salt Cellar

Looking GlassBehrvsSalt CellarBehrΔE 0.6Imperceptible difference

Both are Behr colors. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. With LRVs of 74 and 73, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Looking Glass's green character against Salt Cellar's green and yellow — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 0.6, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
