ChardBehrvsDuck GreenFarrow & BallΔE 1.8Subtle difference

Where Chard belongs to Behr's range, Duck Green is a Farrow & Ball color. Hue-wise, Chard belongs to the green family and Duck Green to the green-grey family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (8 vs 8), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Chard runs green while Duck Green is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources.

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.
