Clearspring Green vs Southfield Green
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. Southfield Green (LRV 37) reflects noticeably more light than Clearspring Green (LRV 29), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean green, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 6.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Clearspring Green vs Southfield Green in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Clearspring Green and Southfield Green 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
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Southfield Green will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Clearspring Green would.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. Southfield Green reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Clearspring Green.

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.
