Aurora Borealis vs L380
Where Aurora Borealis belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, L380 is a Tikkurila color. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. Aurora Borealis (LRV 35) reflects noticeably more light than L380 (LRV 20), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 16.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Aurora Borealis vs L380 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Aurora Borealis on one side and L380 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.
