Maritime Teal is a Dulux color while Snowbound comes from Sherwin-Williams. Hue-wise, Maritime Teal belongs to the blue family and Snowbound to the beige-greige family. At LRV 83 vs 26, Snowbound will read as the brighter of the two — a 57-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Maritime Teal's cool character against Snowbound's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 38.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 7 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Maritime Teal vs Snowbound in Real Spaces
7 real rooms side by side. Seeing Maritime Teal and Snowbound in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Snowbound returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Snowbound will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Maritime Teal would.
Dining Room
Dining room light is typically the warmest in the house, which shifts both colors toward the red end of the spectrum compared to daylight. Snowbound reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Maritime Teal.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Snowbound will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Maritime Teal would.
House
At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Snowbound will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Maritime Teal would.
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. Snowbound returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Kitchen Cabinets
On cabinetry, undertone and temperature become more pronounced against countertops and hardware. The LRV gap is large enough that Snowbound will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Maritime Teal would.

Digital color is approximate.
