Crocus vs Malachy Green
Crocus and Malachy Green come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Crocus belongs to the blue-purple family and Malachy Green to the green-yellow family. The 5-point LRV gap — 48 for Malachy Green vs 43 for Crocus — means Malachy Green will open up a space more effectively. Where Crocus leans purple, Malachy Green reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 80.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
