Celestial Blue vs Fresh Eucalyptus paint color comparison

Celestial Blue vs Fresh Eucalyptus

Celestial Blue (Little Greene) and Fresh Eucalyptus (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Celestial Blue reads as blue-green, while Fresh Eucalyptus reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 4-point LRV gap — 48 for Fresh Eucalyptus vs 44 for Celestial Blue — means Fresh Eucalyptus will open up a space more effectively. Where Celestial Blue leans green, Fresh Eucalyptus reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 3.0 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Celestial Blue vs Fresh Eucalyptus in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. Celestial Blue and Fresh Eucalyptus 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. Fresh Eucalyptus reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
