Eternity vs Duck Green

EternityBenjamin MoorevsDuck GreenFarrow & BallΔE 45.7Very different colors

Eternity is a Benjamin Moore color while Duck Green comes from Farrow & Ball. Eternity reads as grey, while Duck Green reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 52 vs 8, Eternity will read as the brighter of the two — a 44-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Eternity's blue character against Duck Green's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 45.7, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
