Courtyard Green vs Richmond Green

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Courtyard Green belongs to the green-yellow family and Richmond Green to the green family. Richmond Green (LRV 24) reflects noticeably more light than Courtyard Green (LRV 21), 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. With a ΔE of 14.1, 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.

Digital color is approximate.

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