Burgess Green vs Cooking Apple Green

Where Burgess Green belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Cooking Apple Green is a Farrow & Ball color. These are both beige-greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-green to land. Cooking Apple Green (LRV 54) reflects noticeably more light than Burgess Green (LRV 49), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Burgess Green runs yellow while Cooking Apple Green is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
