Cucumber vs Soft Apple
Cucumber (Benjamin Moore) and Soft Apple (Dulux) come from different manufacturers. Cucumber reads as green-yellow, while Soft Apple reads as yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 8-point LRV gap — 83 for Soft Apple vs 75 for Cucumber — means Soft Apple will open up a space more effectively. Where Cucumber leans green, Soft Apple reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 4.4 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

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.
