Essex Green vs Fir green
Where Essex Green belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Fir green is a RAL Classic color. Both sit in the green family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Fir green (LRV 6) reflects noticeably more light than Essex Green (LRV 4), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.1, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
