Aegean Teal vs Chrome Green
Aegean Teal and Chrome Green come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Aegean Teal belongs to the blue-grey family and Chrome Green to the green family. The 18-point LRV gap — 25 for Aegean Teal vs 7 for Chrome Green — means Aegean Teal will open up a space more effectively. Where Aegean Teal leans blue, Chrome Green reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 36.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 6 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Aegean Teal vs Chrome Green in Real Spaces
6 real rooms side by side. Seeing Aegean Teal and Chrome Green 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
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Aegean Teal reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Chrome Green.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Aegean Teal returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The LRV gap is large enough that Aegean Teal will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Chrome Green would.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Aegean Teal returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Front Door
On a front door, the color is both the first and last thing you see — a context where even a modest tonal difference reads clearly. Aegean Teal reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Chrome Green.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. Aegean Teal 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.
