Bermuda Blue vs Jay Blue in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. Bermuda Blue and Jay Blue 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.

Front Door

Front doors are seen in isolation against the rest of the facade, which makes them a high-stakes surface where even subtle differences matter. Bermuda Blue has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
