Dark Teal vs Mountain Pass
Dark Teal (Jotun) and Mountain Pass (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the blue-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 11 vs 14 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Dark Teal leans cool, Mountain Pass reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 3.8 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

Dark Teal vs Mountain Pass in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Dark Teal and Mountain Pass 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
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Mountain Pass brings more warmth to the space, while Dark Teal keeps things cooler and crisper.

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.
