Firefly vs Riverdale Green
Firefly (Behr) and Riverdale Green (Benjamin Moore) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Firefly belongs to the beige-yellow family and Riverdale Green to the green-yellow family. The 7-point LRV gap — 86 for Firefly vs 79 for Riverdale Green — means Firefly will open up a space more effectively. Where Firefly leans yellow, Riverdale Green reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 12.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Firefly on one side and Riverdale Green 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.
