Buffett Green vs Kalamata

Buffett GreenBenjamin MoorevsKalamataBenjamin MooreΔE 43.6Very different colors

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Buffett Green reads as green, while Kalamata reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 11 and 11, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Buffett Green's green character against Kalamata's red — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 43.6, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
