Melting Moment vs Svalbard Sea
Melting Moment is a Behr color while Svalbard Sea comes from Jotun. Melting Moment reads as green, while Svalbard Sea reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 71 and 69, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Melting Moment's green character against Svalbard Sea's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 3.3, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Melting Moment vs Svalbard Sea in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Melting Moment and Svalbard Sea are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
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. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Melting Moment on one side and Svalbard Sea on the other.
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.
