Celtic GreenBenjamin MoorevsDenim DriftDuluxΔE 38.7Very different colors

Where Celtic Green belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Denim Drift is a Dulux color. Celtic Green reads as green, while Denim Drift reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Denim Drift (LRV 27) reflects noticeably more light than Celtic Green (LRV 11), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Celtic Green runs green while Denim Drift is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 38.7, 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.
