Green Earth vs Soft Apple

Green EarthBenjamin MoorevsSoft AppleDuluxΔE 5.4Noticeable difference

Green Earth (Benjamin Moore) and Soft Apple (Dulux) come from different manufacturers. Green Earth reads as beige-green, while Soft Apple reads as yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 9-point LRV gap — 83 for Soft Apple vs 74 for Green Earth — means Soft Apple will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 5.4 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
