Avalon Teal vs Fusion
Where Avalon Teal belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Fusion is a Jotun color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Avalon Teal (LRV 18) reflects noticeably more light than Fusion (LRV 12), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Avalon Teal runs blue while Fusion is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 16.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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. Avalon Teal has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
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. Avalon Teal reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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.
