Vintage Teal vs Maritime Teal
Where Vintage Teal belongs to Behr's range, Maritime Teal is a Dulux color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (25 vs 26), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Vintage Teal runs blue while Maritime Teal is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.3 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.
Vintage Teal vs Maritime Teal in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Vintage Teal and Maritime Teal 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.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. The distinction reads clearly at room scale, making the choice between them concrete.
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. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.
