Teton Blue vs Beneath the Clouds
Where Teton Blue belongs to Behr's range, Beneath the Clouds is a Benjamin Moore color. Both sit in the blue-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Beneath the Clouds (LRV 42) reflects noticeably more light than Teton Blue (LRV 31), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 8.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Teton Blue vs Beneath the Clouds in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Teton Blue and Beneath the Clouds 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
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 Beneath the Clouds will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Teton Blue would.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Beneath the Clouds reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Teton Blue.
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. Beneath the Clouds returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Beneath the Clouds reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Teton Blue.
House
Seen across an entire facade, subtle tonal differences become pronounced. What reads as nearly the same on a chip often reads as clearly different at scale. Beneath the Clouds reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Teton Blue.

Teton Blue vs Beneath the Clouds Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Teton Blue on one side and Beneath the Clouds 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.
