Teton Blue vs Aqua-Sphere
Where Teton Blue belongs to Behr's range, Aqua-Sphere is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. Aqua-Sphere (LRV 41) reflects noticeably more light than Teton Blue (LRV 31), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Teton Blue runs blue while Aqua-Sphere is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Teton Blue vs Aqua-Sphere in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Teton Blue and Aqua-Sphere 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 Aqua-Sphere will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Teton Blue would.
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. Aqua-Sphere reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Teton Blue.

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