Dark Lime vs Douglas Fir

Dark LimeBenjamin MoorevsDouglas FirBenjamin MooreΔE 10.4Distinct difference

Dark Lime and Douglas Fir come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Both sit in the yellow family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 5-point LRV gap — 37 for Dark Lime vs 32 for Douglas Fir — means Dark Lime will open up a space more effectively. Where Dark Lime leans yellow, Douglas Fir reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 10.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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.
