Carried Away vs Pine Needle
Carried Away (Benjamin Moore) and Pine Needle (Dulux) come from different manufacturers. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. The 72-point LRV gap — 79 for Carried Away vs 7 for Pine Needle — means Carried Away will open up a space more effectively. Where Carried Away leans green, Pine Needle reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes.
