Arctic Grey vs Celestial Blue
Arctic Grey is a Jotun color while Celestial Blue comes from Little Greene. Arctic Grey reads as blue-grey, while Celestial Blue reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 44 vs 32, Celestial Blue will read as the brighter of the two — a 12-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Arctic Grey's neutral character against Celestial Blue's green — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 9.9, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Arctic Grey vs Celestial Blue in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Arctic Grey and Celestial Blue 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
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. Celestial Blue 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 Celestial Blue will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Arctic Grey would.

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.
