Silver Marlin vs Teton Blue
Both from Behr's palette. Hue-wise, Silver Marlin belongs to the grey family and Teton Blue to the blue-grey family. Silver Marlin (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Teton Blue (LRV 31), a difference of 26 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Silver Marlin runs yellow while Teton Blue is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 20.3, 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.
Silver Marlin vs Teton Blue in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Silver Marlin and Teton Blue in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Silver Marlin will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Teton Blue would.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Silver Marlin returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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.
