Fresh DewBenjamin MoorevsSpring IrisBenjamin MooreΔE 18.7 — Distinct difference

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Fresh Dew belongs to the green-yellow family and Spring Iris to the blue-purple family. Fresh Dew (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Spring Iris (LRV 65), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Fresh Dew runs green while Spring Iris is decidedly blue and purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 18.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
