Aegean Teal vs Templeton Gray
Aegean Teal and Templeton Gray come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 25 vs 24 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a blue character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 4.1 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Aegean Teal vs Templeton Gray in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Aegean Teal and Templeton Gray 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
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. Templeton Gray brings more warmth to the space, while Aegean Teal keeps things cooler and crisper.
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 reads more restrained here, while Templeton Gray adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
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 reads more restrained here, while Templeton Gray adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
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 reads more restrained here, while Templeton Gray adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.

Aegean Teal vs Templeton Gray Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Aegean Teal on one side and Templeton Gray 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.
