Soft Teal vs Marine
Soft Teal (Jotun) and Marine (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 35 vs 36 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Soft Teal leans neutral, Marine reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 3.4 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Soft Teal vs Marine Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Soft Teal on one side and Marine on the other.
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.
