Green CastBenjamin MoorevsPine NeedleDuluxΔE 62.6Very different colors

At LRV 77 vs 7, Green Cast will read as the brighter of the two — a 70-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Green Cast's green character against Pine Needle's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light.

Digital color is approximate.

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