Sparkling Emerald vs Ming Jade
Where Sparkling Emerald belongs to Behr's range, Ming Jade is a Benjamin Moore color. Sparkling Emerald reads as blue-green, while Ming Jade reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Ming Jade (LRV 14) reflects noticeably more light than Sparkling Emerald (LRV 9), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sparkling Emerald runs green while Ming Jade is decidedly green and blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
