Dragonfly vs Garden Cucumber
Dragonfly and Garden Cucumber come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Dragonfly reads as blue, while Garden Cucumber reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 12 vs 10 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Dragonfly leans blue, Garden Cucumber reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 4.5 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.
Dragonfly vs Garden Cucumber in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Dragonfly and Garden Cucumber 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.
House
A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

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.
