Sparkling Emerald vs Green
Where Sparkling Emerald belongs to Behr's range, Green is a Benjamin Moore color. Both sit in the blue-green family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (9 vs 10), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Both lean green, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 4.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
