Goblin vs Blue grey in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Goblin 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
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. Blue grey reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. Blue grey has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Goblin vs Blue grey Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Goblin on one side and Blue grey 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.
