Essex Green vs Mascara
Where Essex Green belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Mascara is a Cloverdale Paint color. Essex Green reads as green, while Mascara reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (4 vs 4), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. The ΔE 5.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
