Aruba Green vs Pine Needle

Aruba GreenBehrvsPine NeedleDuluxΔE 45.2Very different colors

Aruba Green is a Behr color while Pine Needle comes from Dulux. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. At LRV 29 vs 7, Aruba Green will read as the brighter of the two — a 22-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Aruba Green's green character against Pine Needle's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 45.2, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
