Dark Celery vs Science Experiment
Dark Celery (Benjamin Moore) and Science Experiment (Cloverdale Paint) come from different manufacturers. Dark Celery reads as beige-yellow, while Science Experiment reads as yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 13-point LRV gap — 34 for Science Experiment vs 21 for Dark Celery — means Science Experiment will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 9.1 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Dark Celery vs Science Experiment in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Dark Celery and Science Experiment are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Science Experiment reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Dark Celery.

Dark Celery vs Science Experiment Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Dark Celery on one side and Science Experiment 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.
