Dark Teal vs Grey Blue

Dark TealJotunvsGrey BlueRAL ClassicΔE 11.5Distinct difference

Dark Teal (Jotun) and Grey Blue (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. The 4-point LRV gap — 11 for Dark Teal vs 7 for Grey Blue — means Dark Teal will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 11.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Dark Teal vs Grey Blue in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. Seeing Dark Teal and Grey Blue in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.

Bedroom

Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Dark Teal has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

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.
