CollingwoodBenjamin MoorevsPine NeedleDuluxΔE 56.5Very different colors

Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Collingwood will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Pine Needle would.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
