Royal OrchardBehrvsPompeian AshLittle GreeneΔE 8.4Noticeable difference

Royal Orchard (Behr) and Pompeian Ash (Little Greene) come from different manufacturers. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 14 for Royal Orchard vs 11 for Pompeian Ash — means Royal Orchard will open up a space more effectively. Both share a green character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 8.4 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Royal Orchard vs Pompeian Ash in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Royal Orchard and Pompeian Ash 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.

Living Room

A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. The distinction reads clearly at room scale, making the choice between them concrete.

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.

Kitchen Cabinets

Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. 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.
