Really Teal vs Surfer

Really TealSherwin-WilliamsvsSurferSherwin-WilliamsΔE 26.1 — Very different colors

Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 29 vs 10, Surfer will read as the brighter of the two — a 19-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a cool quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 26.1, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
