Silver Marlin vs Teresa's Green
Where Silver Marlin belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Teresa's Green is a Farrow & Ball color. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (56 vs 58), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Silver Marlin runs green while Teresa's Green is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.6, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Silver Marlin vs Teresa's Green in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Silver Marlin and Teresa's Green 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
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The temperature contrast between Teresa's Green and Silver Marlin is what sets these apart most in this context.
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. Teresa's Green brings more warmth to the space, while Silver Marlin keeps things cooler and crisper.
Mudroom
Mudrooms are seen in passing, often under whatever light comes through the door — a context that favors colors with some depth. Silver Marlin reads more restrained here, while Teresa's Green adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.

Silver Marlin vs Teresa's Green Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Silver Marlin on one side and Teresa's Green 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.
