Skylight vs Teresa's Green

SkylightFarrow & BallvsTeresa's GreenFarrow & BallΔE 5.4Noticeable difference

Both from Farrow & Ball's palette. Skylight reads as grey, while Teresa's Green reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Skylight (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Teresa's Green (LRV 58), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Skylight runs neutral while Teresa's Green is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Skylight vs Teresa's Green in Real Spaces

4 real rooms side by side. Skylight 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 brightness difference is modest but present — Skylight gives the walls a little more lift.

Bedroom

The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Skylight 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.
