Old Celadon vs Welded Iron

Old CeladonBehrvsWelded IronBehrΔE NaNVery different colors

Old Celadon and Welded Iron come from the same Behr collection. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 23-point LRV gap — 39 for Old Celadon vs 16 for Welded Iron — means Old Celadon will open up a space more effectively. Both share a yellow character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of NaN puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
