Colony Green vs Crystalline
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Colony Green belongs to the green family and Crystalline to the green-grey family. Colony Green (LRV 66) reflects noticeably more light than Crystalline (LRV 63), a difference of 3 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. At ΔE 2.1, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Colony Green vs Crystalline Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Colony Green on one side and Crystalline on the other.
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.
