Aganthus Green vs Paper White
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. Paper White (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Aganthus Green (LRV 50), a difference of 24 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean green, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 14.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Aganthus Green vs Paper White in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Seeing Aganthus Green and Paper White in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Paper White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Aganthus Green would.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Aganthus Green on one side and Paper White 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.
