Fusion vs Blue grey

FusionJotunvsBlue greyRAL ClassicΔE 6.3Noticeable difference

Where Fusion belongs to Jotun's range, Blue grey is a RAL Classic color. Fusion reads as blue, while Blue grey reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Blue grey (LRV 16) reflects noticeably more light than Fusion (LRV 12), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.3 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.

Fusion vs Blue grey in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Fusion and Blue grey 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 — Blue grey 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. Blue grey reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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. Blue grey 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.
