Garden Cucumber vs Under the Sea
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Garden Cucumber belongs to the blue-green family and Under the Sea to the green-grey family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (10 vs 11), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Garden Cucumber runs green while Under the Sea is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
