Cucumber vs Plum Royale

Cucumber and Plum Royale come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Cucumber belongs to the green-yellow family and Plum Royale to the grey family. The 69-point LRV gap — 75 for Cucumber vs 6 for Plum Royale — means Cucumber will open up a space more effectively. Where Cucumber leans green, Plum Royale reads purple — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 69.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
