FresnoBenjamin MoorevsObsidian GreenLittle GreeneΔE 80.3Very different colors

Fresno is a Benjamin Moore color while Obsidian Green comes from Little Greene. Fresno reads as pink-red, while Obsidian Green reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins.

The tonal difference — Fresno's red character against Obsidian Green's green — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 80.3, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

Digital color is approximate.

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