Chimichurri vs Dakota Shadow

ChimichurriBenjamin MoorevsDakota ShadowBenjamin MooreΔE 5.7 — Noticeable difference

Chimichurri and Dakota Shadow come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Both sit in the green-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 10 vs 12 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a green character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 5.7 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Chimichurri vs Dakota Shadow in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. Chimichurri and Dakota Shadow are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

Living Room

A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. The distinction reads clearly at room scale, making the choice between them concrete.

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.
