Dark Lime vs New Lime
Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Dark Lime reads as yellow, while New Lime reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 60 vs 37, New Lime will read as the brighter of the two — a 23-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a yellow quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 20.2, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

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.
