Green Tea vs Black grey

Green TeaJotunvsBlack greyRAL ClassicΔE 46.9Very different colors

Green Tea is a Jotun color while Black grey comes from RAL Classic. Green Tea reads as beige-green, while Black grey reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 32 vs 6, Green Tea will read as the brighter of the two — a 25-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 46.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Kitchen Cabinets

On cabinetry, undertone and temperature become more pronounced against countertops and hardware. The LRV gap is large enough that Green Tea will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Black 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.
