Antique GreenJotunvsNephriteTikkurilaΔE 3.7Noticeable difference

Where Antique Green belongs to Jotun's range, Nephrite is a Tikkurila color. Antique Green reads as green-grey, while Nephrite reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (26 vs 24), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. The ΔE 3.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Antique Green vs Nephrite in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Antique Green and Nephrite 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. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

Bedroom

The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. The distinction reads clearly at room scale, making the choice between them concrete.

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. The distinction reads clearly at room scale, making the choice between them concrete.
