Green Bay vs Really Teal

Green BaySherwin-WilliamsvsReally TealSherwin-WilliamsΔE 6.9 — Noticeable difference

Green Bay and Really Teal come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Green Bay reads as blue-green, while Really Teal reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 11 vs 10 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 6.9 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Green Bay vs Really Teal in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Green Bay and Really Teal 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.

Bedroom

Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

Bathroom

Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

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.
