Light Quartz vs Teal Tone

Light QuartzBenjamin MoorevsTeal ToneBenjamin MooreΔE 48.1 — Very different colors

Light Quartz and Teal Tone come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Light Quartz reads as pink-red, while Teal Tone reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 40-point LRV gap — 82 for Light Quartz vs 42 for Teal Tone — means Light Quartz will open up a space more effectively. Where Light Quartz leans red, Teal Tone reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 48.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
