Apricot Ice vs Duck Green
Apricot Ice (Benjamin Moore) and Duck Green (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Apricot Ice belongs to the beige family and Duck Green to the green-grey family. The 77-point LRV gap — 85 for Apricot Ice vs 8 for Duck Green — means Apricot Ice will open up a space more effectively. Where Apricot Ice leans red, Duck Green reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 62.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Apricot Ice on one side and Duck 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.
