Green Grove vs Iron Ore

Green GroveBenjamin MoorevsIron OreSherwin-WilliamsΔE 9.7Noticeable difference

Where Green Grove belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Iron Ore is a Sherwin-Williams color. Green Grove reads as green-greige, while Iron Ore reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Green Grove (LRV 10) reflects noticeably more light than Iron Ore (LRV 6), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Green Grove runs yellow and red while Iron Ore is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.7 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.

Digital color is approximate.

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